Subject: [PATCH pm-freezer 1/4] cgroup_freezer: fix freezer->state setting
 bug in freezer_change_state()

d02f52811d0e "cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZE" moved
setting of freezer->state into freezer_change_state(); unfortunately,
while doing so, when it's beginning to freeze tasks, it sets the state
to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of CGROUP_FREEZING ending up skipping the
whole freezing state.  Fix it.

-v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment
     system_freezing_cnt.  Fixed.

I'm in the process of moving and can only use a quite old laptop.  I
tested compile but couldn't really do much else, so please proceed
with caution.  Oleg, can you please ack the patches if you agree with
the updated versions?

Thanks.
