I don't think you need try_to_freeze() there when you apply this on
top of pm-freezer branch.  Per-task freezing flag is gone and freezing
condition is completely transient from the POV of each task and the
freezer also doesn't care at all whether a task enters freezer or
becomes unfreezable.

Thanks.
