[Devel] [PATCH 2/6] Container Freezer: uninline thaw_process()

Now that the cgroup freezer system also calls thaw_process() inlining these
functions uses more space. Uninlining returns some space:

Before:
	text	data	bss	dec	hex	filename
	4260872	275532	290816	4827220 49a854	vmlinux
After:
	text	data	bss	dec	hex	filename
	4260852	275532	290816	4827200	49a840	vmlinux
