Subject: restart_syscall: use freezable blocking call

Hello All, 

Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in a restart_syscall call during suspend and resume by calling a freezable blocking call. 
Previous patches modified the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads that are blocked in freezable blocking calls.
Ref: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/1/424
We have faced similiar issue of sleep fail when calling restart() system call in stress testing.

Patch :-
Subject: restart_syscall: use freezable blocking call
Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in a restart_syscall call during
suspend and resume by calling a freezable blocking call.  Previous
patches modified the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads
that are blocked in freezable blocking calls.
