[Patch] x86,mm: check freeze request in page fault handler

[Cong Wang]

When a process triggers a page fault and kernel keeps
trying to retry the fault, there is no chance for this process
to be frozen, so the freeze request will always be pending.

This patch lets the page fault handler check pending
freeze request and freeze current process if so.
