[PATCH v2 1/4] PM/Freezer: Use thaw_kernel_threads() in preparationfor changes to thaw_processes()

[Srivatsa S. Bhat]

As of now, thaw_processes() is a superset of thaw_kernel_threads() in the
sense that thaw_processes() thaws both userspace tasks and kernel threads.
But that is going to change very soon. So, in preparation for that, add
some calls to thaw_kernel_threads() like this:

 * If only kernel threads need to be thawed, _replace_ thaw_processes()
   with thaw_kernel_threads().

 * If everything needs to be thawed, _add_ a call to thaw_kernel_threads()
   adjacent to the existing call to thaw_processes().
