I have just tried reverting the commit mentioned above and it solves the 
GUI freeze
I was also seeing. Previously, login screen was just freezing, but VM 
was accessible
through ssh. With the above commit reverted, I can login to Gnome.

Looks like I am also experiencing the same bug mentioned here.
