Ok, note though that I also need to do a similar set of changes to the
nfs and sunrpc code [1].

Those call sites do not use wait_event_* macros though. So I'll either
need to add a separate set of functions/macros to handle those, or
sprinkle freezer_do_not_count/freezer_count around the code there...

[1] Here are the older patches that depended on the change to
fake_signal_wake_up. I'll need to convert these to use the new scheme
once you guys settle on what it should be:
