coredump: make coredump_wait wait for mmap_sem for write killable
coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can prevent
oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space asynchronously
because that requires mmap_sem for read. This might happen if the oom
victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is holding mmap_sem for read
(e.g. page fault) and it is stuck in the page allocator while other
thread(s) reached coredump_wait already.
This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR if
the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal. do_coredump will return
right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole thread
group.
