cgroup,freezer: fix incomplete freezing when attaching tasks

commit 37fb58a7273726e59f9429c89ade5116083a213d upstream.

An issue was found:

	# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/
	# mkdir test
	# echo FROZEN > test/freezer.state
	# cat test/freezer.state
	FROZEN
	# sleep 1000 &
	[1] 863
	# echo 863 > test/cgroup.procs
	# cat test/freezer.state
	FREEZING

When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".

The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.

To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().
