Subject: [PATCH 13/16] cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZE

TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test
whether any freezing condition is in effect.  Make the following
changes in preparation.

* Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it
  return bool.

* Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock
  instead of task_lock().  This makes the state dereferencing racy
  against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
  without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
  This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.

* freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the
  target state.
