From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c46038017fbdcac627b670c9d4176f1d0c2f5fa3 ] 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().
