Subject[PATCH 3.2 083/126] coredump: fix unfreezable coredumping task
3.2.85-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>

commit 70d78fe7c8b640b5acfad56ad341985b3810998a upstream.

It could be not possible to freeze coredumping task when it waits for
'core_state->startup' completion, because threads are frozen in
get_signal() before they got a chance to complete 'core_state->startup'.

Inability to freeze a task during suspend will cause suspend to fail.
Also CRIU uses cgroup freezer during dump operation. So with an
unfreezable task the CRIU dump will fail because it waits for a
transition from 'FREEZING' to 'FROZEN' state which will never happen.

Use freezer_do_not_count() to tell freezer to ignore coredumping task
while it waits for core_state->startup completion.
