  It is possible for a task to be thawed multiple times when mixing the
*legacy* cgroup freezer and system-wide freezer. To do this, freeze the
cgroup, do system-wide freeze/thaw, then thaw the cgroup. When this
happens, then a stale saved_state can be written to the task's state
and cause task to hang indefinitely. Fix this by only trying to thaw
tasks that are actually frozen.

This change also has the marginal benefit avoiding unnecessary
wake_up_state(p, TASK_FROZEN) if we know the task is already thawed.
There is not possibility of time-of-compare/time-of-use race when we skip
the wake_up_state because entering/exiting TASK_FROZEN is guarded by
freezer_lock.
