Ooh, I didn't notice this version added cgroup_task_frozen() into
recalc_sigpending_tsk() ...

Honestly, I don't like this. But see another email I sent, we can cleanup
this code later.

Not sure I understand... We need to wake up the task if it sleeps in
do_freezer_trap(), right? do_freezer_trap() uses TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, so
why can't wake_up_interruptible() == __wake_up(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) work?

I understand, but the code doesn't look nice... but again, I can't suggest
anything better at least right now, so please forget.

But cgroup_leave_frozen(false) will equally clear ->frozen if !CGRP_FREEZE ?
OTOH, if CGRP_FREEZE is set again, why do we need to clear ->frozen?
