locking/rwsem: Provide down_write_killable()

Now that all the architectures implement the necessary glue code
we can introduce down_write_killable(). The only difference wrt. regular
down_write() is that the slow path waits in TASK_KILLABLE state and the
interruption by the fatal signal is reported as -EINTR to the caller.
