Jiri Kosina a0c80efe59 floppy: fix lock_fdc() signal handling
floppy_revalidate() doesn't perform any error handling on lock_fdc()
result. lock_fdc() might actually be interrupted by a signal (it waits for
fdc becoming non-busy interruptibly). In such case, floppy_revalidate()
proceeds as if it had claimed the lock, but it fact it doesn't.

In case of multiple threads trying to open("/dev/fdX"), this leads to
serious corruptions all over the place, because all of a sudden there is
no critical section protection (that'd otherwise be guaranteed by locked
fd) whatsoever.

While at this, fix the fact that the 'interruptible' parameter to
lock_fdc() doesn't make any sense whatsoever, because we always wait
interruptibly anyway.

Most of the lock_fdc() callsites do properly handle error (and propagate
EINTR), but floppy_revalidate() and floppy_check_events() don't. Fix this.
