Chen Yu 6b9ccbc033 kthread: Fix task state in kthread worker if being frozen
When analyzing a kernel waring message, Peter pointed out that there is a race
condition when the kworker is being frozen and falls into try_to_freeze() with
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, which could trigger a might_sleep() warning in try_to_freeze().
Although the root cause is not related to freeze()[1], it is still worthy to fix
this issue ahead.

One possible race scenario:

        CPU 0                                           CPU 1
        -----                                           -----

        // kthread_worker_fn
        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
                                                       suspend_freeze_processes()
                                                         freeze_processes
                                                           static_branch_inc(&freezer_active);
                                                         freeze_kernel_threads
                                                           pm_nosig_freezing = true;
        if (work) { //false
          __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);

        } else if (!freezing(current)) //false, been frozen

                      freezing():
                      if (static_branch_unlikely(&freezer_active))
                        if (pm_nosig_freezing)
                          return true;
          schedule()
	}

        // state is still TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
        try_to_freeze()
          might_sleep() <--- warning

Fix this by explicitly set the TASK_RUNNING before entering
try_to_freeze().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
