Well, I tend to agree.

If a task calls __refrigerator() holding a lock which another freezable
task can wait for, this is not freezer-friendly.

freezable_schedule/freezer_do_not_count/etc not only means "I won't be
active if freezing()", it should also mean "I won't block suspend/etc".

OTOH, I understand that probably it is not trivial to change this code
to make it freezer-friendly. But at least  I disagree with "push your
problems onto others".
