[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 20/35] exec: make de_thread() freezable

[Sasha Levin]

From: Chanho Min <chanho.min@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c22397888f1eed98cd59f0a88f2a5f6925f80e15 ]

Suspend fails due to the exec family of functions blocking the freezer.
The casue is that de_thread() sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiting for
all sub-threads to die, and we have the deadlock if one of them is frozen.
This also can occur with the schedule() waiting for the group thread leader
to exit if it is frozen.

In our machine, it causes freeze timeout as bellows.

Freezing of tasks failed after 20.010 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):

To fix this, make de_thread() freezable. It looks safe and works fine.
