Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] kernel: rerun task_work while freezing in get_signal()

io_uring can asynchronously add a task_work while the task is getting
freezed. TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL will prevent the task from sleeping in
do_freezer_trap(), and since the get_signal()'s relock loop doesn't
retry task_work, the task will spin there not being able to sleep
until the freezing is cancelled / the task is killed / etc.

Run task_works in the freezer path. Keep the patch small and simple
so it can be easily back ported, but we might need to do some cleaning
after and look if there are other places with similar problems.
