Btw, this is where things like "udevd" can be really problematic. That
whole "uevent over netlink" stuff is really nasty for things like this.

It's quite possible that even for user-level threads, we simply MUST NOT
freeze them the way we do. Exactly because of deadlocks.

I'm personally really really convinced that the whole freezer thing is a
total disaster. I don't know how anybody can even imagine anything else.
It's simply deadlock city.

We should freeze IO, not processes.
