    futex: Use freezable blocking call · 88c8004f

    Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in a futex_wait call during
    suspend and resume by calling a freezable blocking call.  Previous
    patches modified the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads
    that are blocked in freezable blocking calls.
    
    This call was selected to be converted to a freezable call because
    it doesn't hold any locks or release any resources when interrupted
    that might be needed by another freezing task or a kernel driver
    during suspend, and is a common site where idle userspace tasks are
    blocked.
