do_generic_file_read: s/EINTR/EIO/ if lock_page_killable() fails
If lock_page_killable() fails because the task was killed by SIGKILL or
any other fatal signal, do_generic_file_read() returns -EIO.
This seems to be OK, because in fact the userspace won't see this error,
the task will dequeue SIGKILL and exit.
However, /sbin/init is different, it will dequeue SIGKILL, ignore it, and
return to the user-space with the bogus -EIO.
Change the code to return the error code from lock_page_killable(), -EINTR.
This doesn't fix the bug, but perhaps makes sense anyway. Imho, with this
change the code looks a bit more logical, and the "good" init should handle
the spurious EINTR or short read.
Afaics we can also change lock_page_killable() to return -ERESTARTNOINTR,
but this can't prevent the short reads.
