fsioctl.c: make generic_block_fiemap() signal-tolerant

__generic_block_fiemap may spin very long time for large sparse files.

Without this patch an unprivileged user may abuse system resources simply
by spawning a vast number of unkilable busyloops (works on ext2/ext3):

  truncate --size 1T test
  for ((i=0;i<1024;i++))
  do
         filefrag test > /dev/null &
  done
