Fixes the following lockdep error: [ BUG: ktpacpi_nvramd/446 still has locks held! ] hotkey_kthread() calls set_freezable() after acquiring the hotkey_kthread_mutex(). set_freezable() calls try_to_freeze(). This could block suspend if we were to freeze at this point and another task were to block on the mutex, potentially via writing to one of the sysfs attrs. This race is unlikely but can be easily fixed by moving the set_freezable() call.
