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.

Rafael, these four patches fix the issues spotted by Oleg during
review of the freezer patchset.  Please apply them on pm-freezer once
Oleg acks them.  Thanks.
