From my understanding interruptible() "reacts" on everything that is
also killable() and returns -ERESTARTSYS on "fatal signal". I even
tested it because wait_event_killable() has an issue, see reproducer
[0]. The issue was that it cleans too many waiters, the other waiter
of child in F_SETLKW was also cleared and it will never get a result
back from dlm_controld. I fixed that with an additional check on pid
in [1], but I have no idea about other side effects that could have
occurred as FL_CLOSE is also being used on other parts in the DLM
plock handling.

I rechecked the behaviour with the cancellation feature and sent
SIGKILL and the issue was gone without changing anything in user
space. The only thing I see why it would not have the old behaviour
(killable - that having the mentioned issue above) is that the
dlm_controld version is too old. To not run into this known issue we
just do a wait_event() that does not have those issues.

The mentioned "cancellation fails" - is not that it failed to cancel
the lock, there is some unexpected behaviour of dlm_controld, only
then we do wait_event() e.g. when we receive -EINVAL because
dlm_controld does not understand the op.
