Subject: [PATCH 1/6] 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.

-v3: Matt pointed out that setting CGROUP_FROZEN always invoked
     try_to_freeze_cgroup() regardless of the current state.  Patch
     updated such that the actual freeze/thaw operations are always
     performed on state changes.  This shouldn't make any difference
     unless something is broken.
