freezer: don't unnecessarily set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly
Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer operations. In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly. Remove them and change the documentation to note that setting PF_NOFREEZE directly isn't allowed. -v2: Dropped change to twl4030-irq.c as it no longer uses PF_NOFREEZE.

|
|||
|
||||
Kernel threads are not freezable by default. However, a kernel thread may clear
|
||||
PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE
|
||||
directly is strongly discouraged). From this point it is regarded as freezable
|
||||
directly is not allowed). From this point it is regarded as freezable
|
||||
and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place.

IV. Why do we do that?
