Subjectdown_killable implementations for every architecture

As part of the TASK_KILLABLE changes, we're going to need
down_killable(). Unfortunately, semaphores are implemented for every
architecture, which we should probably fix at some point.

On the plane ride down here, I did the necessary changes for each
architecture:

http://parisc-linux.org/~willy/down-killable/

I may have made mistakes. Things to check:

- The *_killable* functions should be exported for use by modules.
- The down_killable implementation needs to check fatal_signal_pending,
not signal_pending.
- The task state needs to be set to TASK_KILLABLE, not
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE

It should only take a couple of minutes to verify your architecture.

operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such
a retrograde step."
