From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: coredump: fix unfreezable coredumping task

It could be not possible to freeze coredumping task when it waits for
'core_state->startup' completion, because threads are frozen in
get_signal() before they got a chance to complete 'core_state->startup'.

Use freezer_do_not_count() to tell freezer to ignore coredumping task
while it waits for core_state->startup completion.
