And BTW, this is why the function is only used when checking whether a
task is frozen rather than to decide to issue freeze_task() on it, and
it seems your change is correct now that we don't have per-task FREEZE
flag but I can't say I like the change.  I'd really like to keep
things as dumb as possible for freezer.

Thanks.
