PM / Freezer: Remove references to TIF_FREEZE in comments
This patch removes all the references in the code about the TIF_FREEZE flag removed by commit a3201227f803ad7fd43180c5195dbe5a2bf998aa freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE There still are some references to TIF_FREEZE in Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt, but it looks like that documentation needs 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. Suggested-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Marcos Paulo de Souza <marcos.mage@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
