Subject: [PATCH] exec: make de_thread() freezable

Suspend fails due to the exec family of functions blocking the freezer.
The casue is that de_thread() sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiting for
all sub-threads to die, and we have the deadlock if one of them is frozen.
In our machine, it causes freeze timeout as bellows.

Freezing of tasks failed after 20.010 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):

To fix this, make de_thread() freezable. It looks safe and works fine.

Thanks, but please note another schedule() in "if (!thread_group_leader(tsk))"
branch, we probably want to change it too?

Sounds right, The thread group leader might be frozen as well.
I'll prepare v2.
