Something like this?

How does TASK_FREEZABLE affect here? Since call_usermodehelper_exec() is a function
for starting and waiting for termination of a userspace process (which is subjected
to freezing), the caller of call_usermodehelper_exec() can't wait for the termination
of that userspace process if that process was frozen, and wait_for_completion()
blocks forever?
