locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable() Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable(). This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call which can be interrupted by SIGKILL. This patch doesn't provide down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary pieces before. rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR). rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for the lock and be killable. For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't need new exports just visible __down_write_killable(). Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.
