From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: use down_read_killable mmap_sem for /proc/pid/clear_refs
Do not remain stuck forever if something goes wrong. Using a killable
lock permits cleanup of stuck tasks and simplifies investigation.
Replace the only unkillable mmap_sem lock in clear_refs_write().
