Sure. But just in case, I mean the simple patch below.
Feel free to incorporate into 4/4, or I can resend it later.

[PATCH] freezer: remove the pointless/unsafe __thaw_task()->recalc_sigpending_and_wake()
Remove __thaw_task()->recalc_sigpending_and_wake(). It was copied from
cancel_freezing() recently, but it was always wrong.
It is pointless, contary to the comment it can't clear TIF_SIGPENDING.
Not to mention, we must never do this with !current task, this is wrong.
The usage of ->sighand is not safe if the caller is cgroup_freezer, we
can racw with exit.
