Looking at ce612879ddc7 ("mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq"),
we merged "lru-add-drain" (!WQ_FREEZABLE && WQ_MEM_RECLAIM) workqueue and
"vmstat" (WQ_FREEZABLE && WQ_MEM_RECLAIM) workqueue into
"mm_percpu_wq" (WQ_FREEZABLE && WQ_MEM_RECLAIM) workqueue.

- lru_add_drain_wq = alloc_workqueue("lru-add-drain", WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 0);
- vmstat_wq = alloc_workqueue("vmstat", WQ_FREEZABLE|WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 0);
+ mm_percpu_wq = alloc_workqueue("mm_percpu_wq",
+ WQ_FREEZABLE|WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 0);

That means "lru-add-drain" became freezable, doesn't it? And this problem
occurs around resume operation where all freezable threads are frozen?
Then, lru_add_drain_per_cpu() cannot be performed due to mm_percpu_wq frozen?
