Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.
Although we take care to prevent explicit hot-unplug of all 32-bit
capable CPUs on such a system, this is required when suspending on some
SoCs where the firmware mandates that the suspend/resume operation is
handled by CPU 0, which may not be capable of running 32-bit tasks.
Consequently, there is a window on the resume path where no 32-bit
capable CPUs are available for scheduling and waking up a 32-bit task
will result in a scheduler BUG() due to failure of select_fallback_rq():

Prevent wakeups of unschedulable frozen tasks in ttwu() and instead
defer the wakeup to __thaw_tasks(), which runs only once all the
secondary CPUs are back online.
