Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Enhance process freezer interface for usage beyond software suspend

 This patch provides an interface to extend the use of the process
 freezer beyond Suspend.

The tasks can selectively mark themselves to be exempted from specific
freeze events like SUSPEND /KPROBES/CPU_HOTPLUG.

This patch however, *does not* sort non freezable threads into
different categories based on the freeze events. Thus all 
tasks which were previously marked PF_NOFREEZE are now
exempted from freezer using 
	freezer_exempt(FE_ALL);
which means exempt from all kinds of freezes.
