[patch 74/84] ipc, shm: make shmem attach/detach wait for mmap_sem killable

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc, shm: make shmem attach/detach wait for mmap_sem killable

shmat and shmdt rely on mmap_sem for write.  If the waiting task gets
killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous
address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. 
Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task
got killed while waiting.
