freezer: fix kthread_create vs freezer theoretical race

Browse Source 
kthread() sleeps in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state waiting for the first wakeup.  In
theory, this wakeup may come from freeze_process()->signal_wake_up(), so the
task can disappear even before kthread_create() sets its ->comm.

Change kthread() to use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
