Good question! You are right that there is a race window until the wake
up then. I will think about this case some more. There is simply no
control on when the task wakes up and freezer will see it as frozen
until then. An immediate way around would be to check for TIF_MEMDIE in
try_to_freeze_tasks.
I have to call it end of the day unfortunately and will be back on
Monday.
