apm-emulation: use wait_event_freezable() instead of freezer_[do_not_]count()
vfork is moving away from freezer_[do_not_]count() one way or the other leaving apm_ioctl() as the only user. apm_ioctl() just wants to wait for suspend/resume cycle to complete without hindering the freezer. Use wait_event_freezable() instead. The only annoyance is that wait_event_freezable() wakes up with -ERESTART if there are pending signals while apm_ioctl() wants to ignore all signals until suspend is complete. We can play with @current->[real_]blocked but this is hardly a performance or latency critical path - simply chill a bit on each iteration until SUSPEND_DONE for unlikely cases where there are pending signals.
