From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed
__vmalloc_area_node() allocates pages to cover the requested vmalloc size.
This can be a lot of memory. If the current task is killed by the OOM
killer, and thus has an unlimited access to memory reserves, it can
consume all the memory theoretically. Fix this by checking for
fatal_signal_pending and back off early.
