[PATCH] 9p: don't ignore fatal signals during flush

When a 9P RPC request is interrupted by a signal, p9_client_rpc() clears
TIF_SIGPENDING and attempts to flush the pending request by calling
p9_client_flush(). Since commit 9523feac272c switched the wait from
wait_event_interruptible() to wait_event_killable(), only SIGKILL can
interrupt the wait. However, the flush path also clears TIF_SIGPENDING,
which prevents subsequent wait_event_killable() calls from detecting the
already-pending SIGKILL. This makes the task unkillable.

When a coredump is initiated by another thread, zap_process() sends
SIGKILL to all threads. If a thread is stuck in the flush path as
described above, it never exits, and the dumper thread waits forever in
coredump_wait(), resulting in a hung task.

The same issue exists in p9_client_zc_rpc().

Skip the flush and the P9_TFLUSH retry loop when a fatal signal is
pending so that the task can exit promptly.

Fixes: 9523feac272c ("net/9p: Switch to wait_event_killable()")
