fsioctl.c: make generic_block_fiemap() signal-tolerant
__generic_block_fiemap may spin very long time for large sparse files.
Without this patch an unprivileged user may abuse system resources simply
by spawning a vast number of unkilable busyloops (works on ext2/ext3):
truncate --size 1T test
for ((i=0;i<1024;i++))
do
filefrag test > /dev/null &
done
