But they differ. PF_NOFREEZE is a "sticky" flag for kthreads. Set by default, cleared by set_freezable() if you want a freezable kthread.
PF_FREEZER_SKIP means that a sleeping freezable task will call try_to_freeze() right after schedule() returns, so try_to_freeze_tasks() can safely count it as "already frozen".

Yes, de_thread() should use freezable_schedule(), iow I hope we will reconsider this (reverted) patch.

We need to do this anyway, this leads to other more serious problems...
