fanotify: allow freeze when waiting response for permission events 

This is a long-standing issue that uninterruptible sleep in fanotify
could make system hibernation fail if the usperspace server gets frozen
before the process waiting for the response (as reported e.g. [1][2]).

A few years ago, there was an attempt to switch to interruptible sleep
while waiting [3], but that would lead to EINTR returns from open(2)
and break userspace [4], so it's been changed to only killable [5].

And the core freezer logic had been rewritten [6][7] in v6.1, allowing
freezing in uninterrupted sleep, so we can solve this problem now.
