Now that we have vma_start_write_killable() we can replace most of the
vma_start_write() calls with it, improving reaction time to the kill
signal.
There are several places which are left untouched by this patch:
1. free_pgtables() because function should free page tables even if a
fatal signal is pending.
2. process_vma_walk_lock(), which requires changes in its callers and
will be handled in the next patch.
3. userfaultd code, where some paths calling vma_start_write() can
handle EINTR and some can't without a deeper code refactoring.
4. mpol_rebind_mm() which is used by cpusset controller for migrations
and operates on a remote mm. Incomplete operations here would result
in an inconsistent cgroup state.
5. vm_flags_{set|mod|clear} require refactoring that involves moving
vma_start_write() out of these functions and replacing it with
vma_assert_write_locked(), then callers of these functions should
lock the vma themselves using vma_start_write_killable() whenever
possible.

Replace vma_start_write() with vma_start_write_killable() when
process_vma_walk_lock() is used with PGWALK_WRLOCK option.
Adjust its direct and indirect users to check for a possible error
and handle it. Ensure users handle EINTR correctly and do not ignore
it.
