cgroup: prevent spurious transition into non-frozen state
If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()), a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen. The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state. To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise. To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path, let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task is going to stay frozen.
