[PATCH 5/7] Freezer: Fix kthread_create vs freezer theoretical race

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>

kthread() sleeps in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state waiting for the first wakeup.  In
theory, this wakeup may come from freeze_process()->signal_wake_up(), so the
task can disappear even before kthread_create() sets its ->comm.

Change kthread() to use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
