dup_mmap needs to lock current's mm mmap_sem for write.  If the waiting
task gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from
asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM
resolving.  Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR
if the task got killed while waiting.
