Allow DSM allocation to be interrupted.

Chris Travers reported that the startup process can repeatedly try to
cancel a backend that is in a posix_fallocate()/EINTR loop and cause it
to loop forever.  Teach the retry loop to give up if an interrupt is
pending.  Don't actually check for interrupts in that loop though,
because a non-local exit would skip some clean-up code in the caller.

Back-patch to 9.4 where DSM was added (and posix_fallocate() was later
back-patched).
