The mobile application has life cycle and one of them is 'suspend'
state. it's different from 'pause' or 'background'.
if there are some application and enter go 'suspend' state. all
behaviors are stopped and can't do anything. right it's suspended. but
after system suspend & resume, these application is thawed and
running. even though system know it's suspended.

We made some test application, print out some message within infinite
loop. when it goes 'suspend' state. nothing is print out. but after
system suspend & resume, it prints out again. that's not desired
behavior. and want to address it.

frozen user processes should be remained as frozen while system
suspend & resume.

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park
