Description:  kvm: fix deadlock when killed by oom

Symptom:      oom killer leaves processes in a deadlock state.

Problem:      The problem arises in the rare cases in which
                  handle_mm_fault does not release the mm_sem.

Solution:     Correct the issue by manually relaese the mm_sem
                  when needed.

Reproduction: Create numerous KVM guests so that the host starts
                  swapping and memory becomes overcomitted and the oom
                  killer is triggered.
