Avoid page waitqueue race leaving possible page locker waiting

The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the
page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry
set.

That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been
skipped.

That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must*
take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also
pending.

So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for
them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for.  Even
if that might then delay the killing of the process.

This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure
that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other
areas).

Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried
to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread
was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other
thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated.  So any
other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.
