freezer: remove racy clear_freeze_flag() and set PF_NOFREEZE on dead tasks
clear_freeze_flag() in exit_mm() is racy. Freezing can start
afterwards. Remove it. Skipping freezer for exiting task will be
properly implemented later.
Also, freezable() was testing exit_state directly to make system
freezer ignore dead tasks. Let the exiting task set PF_NOFREEZE after
entering TASK_DEAD instead.
