freezer: do not send signals to kernel threads

The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to
subtle problems.  In particular, commit
b74d0deb968e1f85942f17080eace015ce3c332c has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk()
so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING.  For this reason, if the freezer
continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel
threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever.

Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING
flag if TIF_FREEZE is set.
