kernel may try to wake up task with fake signal when freezing task,
if the task is waiting event using wait_event_freezable,
it's better to freeze the wait, instead of breaking it.

otherwise the caller may need to retry the wait,
maybe like below code:

	if (rc == -ERESTARTSYS && freezing(current)) {
		clear_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING);
		goto again;
	}

I'm not sure I get it -- is there an actual problem, or are you trying
to optimize something?

Hi Peter,
    We have a driver that needs to interact with the daemon on nxp IMX8MP-EVK,  Initially we use wait_event_interruptible to wait for a response from the daemon, but in our suspend test, sometimes we met failure which was caused by the waiting interrupted.
    Then we use wait_event_freezable instead, but the problem remains.  The above retry  code should fix the problem, but we think it may be a common issue.
    So we try to improve the wait_event_freezable, then we can pass our suspend test without any rety.

Ming
