[PATCH RFC] kexec: Freeze processes before kexec

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

During kexec, it is possible for userspace to race with
device_shutdown() causing accesses to GPU after pm_runtime suspend has
already happened. Fix by freezing userspace before device_shutdown().

Such freezing is already being done if kernel supports KEXEC_JUMP and
kexec_image->preserve_context is true. However, doing it if either of
these are not true prevents crashes/races.

This fixes the following crash during kexec reboot on an ARM64 device
with adreno GPU:
