Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) faf3c92352 mm: fix vma_start_write_killable() signal handling
If we get a signal, we need to restore the vm_refcnt.  We don't think that
the refcount can actually be decremented to zero here as it requires the
VMA to be detached, and the vma_mark_detached() uses TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
However, that's a bit subtle, so handle it as if the refcount was zero at
the start of this function.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
