Make /dev/zero reads interruptible by signals
This helps with bad latencies for large reads from /dev/zero, but might conceivably break some application that "knows" that a read of /dev/zero cannot return early. So do this early in the merge window to give us maximal test coverage, even if the patch is totally trivial. Obviously, no well-behaved application should ever depend on the read being uninterruptible, but hey, bugs happen. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
