[PATCH v2 01/10] freezer: shorten freezer sleep time using exponential backoff

From: Colin Cross
Date: Wed May 01 2013 - 21:43:09 EST


All tasks can easily be frozen in under 10 ms, switch to using
an initial 1 ms sleep followed by exponential backoff until
8 ms. Also convert the printed time to ms instead of centiseconds.
