commit 23ab79e8e469e2605beec2e3ccb40d19c68dd2e0 upstream.
It is possible for a task to be thawed multiple times when mixing the *legacy* cgroup freezer and system-wide freezer. To do this, freeze the cgroup, do system-wide freeze/thaw, then thaw the cgroup. When this happens, then a stale saved_state can be written to the task's state and cause task to hang indefinitely. Fix this by only trying to thaw tasks that are actually frozen.
This change also has the marginal benefit avoiding unnecessary wake_up_state(p, TASK_FROZEN) if we know the task is already thawed. There is not possibility of time-of-compare/time-of-use race when we skip the wake_up_state because entering/exiting TASK_FROZEN is guarded by freezer_lock.
