freezer: add unsafe versions of freezable helpers for CIFS
CIFS calls wait_event_freezekillable_unsafe with a VFS lock held,
which is unsafe and will cause lockdep warnings when 6aa9707
"lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time" is reapplied
(it was reverted in dbf520a). CIFS shouldn't be doing this, but
it has long-running syscalls that must hold a lock but also
shouldn't block suspend. Until CIFS freeze handling is rewritten
to use a signal to exit out of the critical section, add a new
wait_event_freezekillable_unsafe helper that will not run the
lockdep test when 6aa9707 is reapplied, and call it from CIFS.
In practice the likley result of holding the lock while freezing
is that a second task blocked on the lock will never freeze,
aborting suspend, but it is possible to manufacture a case using
the cgroup freezer, the lock, and the suspend freezer to create
a deadlock. Silencing the lockdep warning here will allow
problems to be found in other drivers that may have a more
serious deadlock risk, and prevent new problems from being added.
