In preparation for converting exec_update_mutex to a rwsem so that multiple readers can execute in parallel and not deadlock, add down_read_killable_nested. This is needed so that kcmp_lock can be converted from working on a mutexes to working on rw_semaphores. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
