[PATCH] btrfs: make subvol creation/deletion killable in the early stages
The subvolume ioctls block on the parent directory mutex that can be
held by other concurrent snapshot activity for a long time. Give the
user at least some chance to get out of this situation by allowing
to send a kill signal.
