vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed

__vmalloc_area_node() allocates pages to cover the requested vmalloc
size.  This can be a lot of memory.  If the current task is killed by
the OOM killer, and thus has an unlimited access to memory reserves, it
can consume all the memory theoretically.  Fix this by checking for
fatal_signal_pending and back off early.
