    PM / Freezer: Revert 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too"
    
    Commit 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
    TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
    to wake up KILLABLE tasks.  Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
    killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
    tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.
    
    For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
    that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
    to the usermode.  TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.
    
    The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it
    doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup.  This patch reverts the
    offending commit.
    
    Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in
    KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to
    regain freezekillable behavior.
