s390/ap: Use mutex_lock_killable() in ap_bus_force_rescan()

Browse source

A deep dive into the AP bus code and zcrypt device driver about the
usage of mutex locking showed that there is one questionable call in
ap_bus.c in function ap_bus_force_rescan(). This function may be
called in kernel and process context. In both contexts only one info
is important: was there a AP bus scan running and did it result in
some updates on the AP devices. So only true/false is returned but no
info like -EINTR. But still the mutex lock call should be
interruptible to be able to kill a user space program blocked forever
on this. So this patch replaces mutex_lock_interruptible() with
mutex_lock_killable() to  be able to handle SIGKILL especially in user
space process context.
