freezer: fix PF_NOFREEZE vs freezeable race
This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.
* Freezer marks a thread as freezeable.
* The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE, but it will be frozen on
on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though it doesn't
want to.
* Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to thaw the task since it is
marked PF_NOFREEZE.
Avoid this problem by checking the task's PF_NOFREEZE status in
frozen_processes() before marking the task as frozen.
