Like reading /proc/*/cmdline, it is possible to be blocked for long time when reading /proc/*/environ when manipulating large mapping at the mean time. The environ reading process will be waiting for mmap_sem become available for a long time then it may cause the reading task hung. Convert down_read() and access_remote_vm() to killable version.
