freezer: change ptrace_stop/do_signal_stop to use freezable_schedule()

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.

We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.

And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".

v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.
