ksm: fix endless loop on oom 

break_ksm has been looping endlessly ignoring VM_FAULT_OOM: that should
only be a problem for ksmd when a memory control group imposes limits
(normally the OOM killer will kill others with an mm until it succeeds);
but in general (especially for MADV_UNMERGEABLE and KSM_RUN_UNMERGE) we
do need to route the error (or kill) back to the caller (or sighandling).

Test signal_pending in unmerge_ksm_pages, which could be a lengthy
procedure if it has to spill into swap: returning -ERESTARTSYS so that
trivial signals will restart but fatals will terminate (is that right?
we do different things in different places in mm, none exactly this).

unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items was forgetting to lock when going
down the mm_list: fix that.  Whether it's successful or not, reset
ksm_scan cursor to head; but only if it's successful, reset seqnr
(shown in full_scans) - page counts will have gone down to zero.

This patch leaves a significant OOM deadlock, but it's a good step
on the way, and that deadlock is fixed in a subsequent patch.

* but note that a concurrent fault might break PageKsm for us.
*
* VM_FAULT_SIGBUS could occur if we race with truncation of the
* backing file, which also invalidates anonymous pages: that's
* okay, that truncation will have unmapped the PageKsm for us.
*
* VM_FAULT_OOM: at the time of writing (late July 2009), setting
* aside mem_cgroup limits, VM_FAULT_OOM would only be set if the
* current task has TIF_MEMDIE set, and will be OOM killed on return
* to user; and ksmd, having no mm, would never be chosen for that.
*
* But if the mm is in a limited mem_cgroup, then the fault may fail
* with VM_FAULT_OOM even if the current task is not TIF_MEMDIE; and
* even ksmd can fail in this way - though it's usually breaking ksm
* just to undo a merge it made a moment before, so unlikely to oom.
*
* That's a pity: we might therefore have more kernel pages allocated
* than we're counting as nodes in the stable tree; but ksm_do_scan
* will retry to break_cow on each pass, so should recover the page
* in due course. The important thing is to not let VM_MERGEABLE
* be cleared while any such pages might remain in the area.
