[PATCH] ppc32: fix bogosity in process-freezing code

The code that went into arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c recently to handle process
freezing seems to contain a dubious assumption: that a process that calls
do_signal when PF_FREEZE is set will have entered the kernel because of a
system call.  This patch removes that assumption.
