cgroup_freezer: fix can_attach() to prohibit moving from/to freezing/frozen cgroups
It is possible to move a task from its cgroup even if this group is
'FREEZING'. This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become
frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D'
state.
This patch allows to migrate the task only between THAWED cgroups.
This behavior was observed and easily reproduced on a single core laptop.
Notice that reproducibility depends highly on the machine used. Program
and instructions how to reproduce the bug can be fetched from:
