[PATCH] thp: cleanup how khugepaged enters freezer

[Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>]

khugepaged_do_scan() checks in every iteration whether freezing(current) 
is true, and in such case breaks out of the loop, which causes 
try_to_freeze() to be called immediately afterwards in 
khugepaged_wait_work().

If nothing else, this causes unnecessary freezing(current) test, and also 
makes the way khugepaged enters freezer a bit less obvious than necessary.

Let's just try to freeze directly, instead of splitting it into two 
(directly adjacent) phases.

Stumbled upon this when debugging something completely unrelated.
