They shouldn't be able to leave the freezer tho.  Resuming does wake
up all tasks but freezing() test would still evaulate to true for the
ones frozen by cgroup freezer and they will stay inside the freezer.

I need to think more about it but as an *optimization* we can add
freezing() test before actually waking tasks up during resume, but can
you please clarify what you're seeing?

Thanks.
