Subject: [RFC 5/5] pm: remove kernel thread freezing
Now that all filesystems which used to rely on kthread
freezing have been converted to filesystem freeze/thawing
we can remove the kernel kthread freezer.

freeze_processes():
- freezes only userspace tasks
-freeze_kernel_threads():
- - freezes all tasks (including kernel threads) because we can't freeze
- kernel threads without freezing userspace tasks
-
-thaw_kernel_threads():
- - thaws only kernel threads; this is particularly useful if we need to do
