Subject: [PATCH] net/9p: Switch to wait_event_killable()

Because userspace gets Very Unhappy when calls like stat() and execve() return -EINTR on 9p filesystem mounts. For instance, when bash is looking in PATH for things to execute and some SIGCHLD interrupts stat(), bash can throw a spurious 'command not found' since it doesn't retry the stat().

In practice, hitting the problem is rare and needs a really slow/bogged down 9p server.
