Urgh, I was relying on all kthreads to be freezable for live-patching:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250324134909.GA14718@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So I understand the problem with freezing filesystems, but can't we
leave the TASK_FREEZABLE in the kthreads? The way I understand it, the
power subsystem will first freeze the filesystems before it goes freeze
threads anyway. So them remaining freezable should not affect anything,
right?
