From: Paul Mackerras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
