[PATCH] PM/Freezer: Remove references to TIF_FREEZE in comments

[Marcos Paulo de Souza]

This patch removes all the references in the code about TIF_FREEZE(flag removed by
the commit a3201227f803ad7fd43180c5195dbe5a2bf998aa).

Sent again to put lkml and linux-pm int cc'ing... Sorry for it...


Still there are some references to TIF_FREEZE in 
Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt, but it looks like that documentation
needs a more thorough work to reflect how the new freezer works, and hence merely
removing the references to TIF_FREEZE won't really help. So I have not touched that
part in this patch.
