sched: Fix more TASK_state comparisons

Boris reported hung_task splats after commit 5aec788aeb8e ("sched: Fix
TASK_state comparisons"). Upon closer consideration of that change it
doesn't only exclude TASK_KILLABLE, but also TASK_IDLE.

Update the comment to reflect this fact and add an additional
TASK_NOLOAD test to exclude them.

Additionally, remove the TASK_FREEZABLE early exit from
check_hung_task(), a freezable task is not a frozen task.

Fixes: 5aec788aeb8e ("sched: Fix TASK_state comparisons")
