Subject: mm: ksm: remove unnecessary try_to_freeze()
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:09:06 +0800
A freezable kernel thread can enter frozen state during freezing by
either calling try_to_freeze() or using wait_event_freezable() and its
variants. However, there is no need to use both methods simultaneously.
