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.
