[PATCH 5.10 020/126] kernel: freezer should treat PF_IO_WORKER like PF_KTHREAD for freezing

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit 15b2219facadec583c24523eed40fa45865f859f ]

Don't send fake signals to PF_IO_WORKER threads, they don't accept
signals. Just treat them like kthreads in this regard, all they need
is a wakeup as no forced kernel/user transition is needed.
