Revert "exec: make de_thread() freezable" 

Revert commit c22397888f "exec: make de_thread() freezable" as
requested by Ingo Molnar:

"So there's a new regression in v4.20-rc4, my desktop produces this
lockdep splat:

[ 1772.588771] WARNING: pkexec/4633 still has locks held!

The warning gets triggered by an ancient lockdep check in the freezer:

(gdb) list *0xffffffff812ece06
0xffffffff812ece06 is in flush_old_exec (./include/linux/freezer.h:57).
52	 * DO NOT ADD ANY NEW CALLERS OF THIS FUNCTION
53	 * If try_to_freeze causes a lockdep warning it means the caller may deadlock
54	 */
55	static inline bool try_to_freeze_unsafe(void)
56	{
57		might_sleep();
58		if (likely(!freezing(current)))
59			return false;
60		return __refrigerator(false);
61	}

I reviewed the ->cred_guard_mutex code, and the mutex is held across all
of exec() - and we always did this.

But there's this recent -rc4 commit:

> Chanho Min (1):
>       exec: make de_thread() freezable

  c22397888f1e: exec: make de_thread() freezable

I believe this commit is bogus, you cannot call try_to_freeze() from
de_thread(), because it's holding the ->cred_guard_mutex."
