mm: Allow to kill tasks doing pcpu_alloc() and waiting for pcpu_balance_workfn()
In case of memory deficit and low percpu memory pages, pcpu_balance_workfn() takes pcpu_alloc_mutex for a long time (as it makes memory allocations itself and waits for memory reclaim). If tasks doing pcpu_alloc() are choosen by OOM killer, they can't exit, because they are waiting for the mutex. The patch makes pcpu_alloc() to care about killing signal and use mutex_lock_killable(), when it's allowed by GFP flags. This guarantees, a task does not miss SIGKILL from OOM killer.
