Please just use the normal pattern of doing

        if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
                return -EINTR;

inside the loop instead.

(Ok, in this case I think it wants

        err = -EINTR;
        if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
                break;

instead, but the point is to make it look like signal handling, just
with the special "fatal signals can sometimes be handled even when
regular signals might not make it through".
