[PATCH] coredump: fix unfreezable coredumping task

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Fri Sep 30 2016 - 07:24:34 EST


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.
