freezer: fix wait_event_freezable/__thaw_task races

wait_event_freezable() and friends stop the waiting if try_to_freeze()
fails. This is not right, we can race with __thaw_task() and in this
case

- wait_event_freezable() returns the wrong ERESTARTSYS

- wait_event_freezable_timeout() can return the positive
  value while condition == F

Change the code to always check __retval/condition before return.

Note: with or without this patch the timeout logic looks strange,
probably we should recalc timeout if try_to_freeze() returns T.
