Tejun Heo 8e4ec90701 freezer: Clarify that only cgroup1 freezer uses PM freezer
cgroup1 freezer piggybacks on the PM freezer, which inadvertently allowed
userspace to produce uninterruptible tasks at will. To avoid the issue,
cgroup2 freezer switched to a separate job control based mechanism. While
this happened a long time ago, the code and comment haven't been updated
making it confusing to people who aren't familiar with the history.

Rename cgroup_freezing() to cgroup1_freezing() and update comments on top of
freezing() and frozen() to clarify that cgroup2 freezer isn't covered by the
PM freezer mechanism.
