Mikulas Patocka b64b6bf4fd dm io: make sync_io uninterruptible 
If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call,
the kernel may crash.

The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal,
however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io
requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory.

sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out
of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered
while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen.

There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore
signals at this point.
