KVM: make processes waiting on vcpu mutex killable
vcpu mutex can be held for unlimited time so
taking it with mutex_lock on an ioctl is wrong:
one process could be passed a vcpu fd and
call this ioctl on the vcpu used by another process,
it will then be unkillable until the owner exits.
Call mutex_lock_killable instead and return status.
Note: mutex_lock_interruptible would be even nicer,
but I am not sure all users are prepared to handle EINTR
from these ioctls. They might misinterpret it as an error.
Cleanup paths expect a vcpu that can't be used by
any userspace so this will always succeed - catch bugs
by calling BUG_ON.
Catch callers that don't check return state by adding
__must_check.
