Heh, this gone goes way back.

So, CONFIG_FREEZER is defbool which is turned on automatically if
CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER; however, CONFIG_FREEZER is defined in
Kconfig.freezer which should be included by arch Kconfig file.  tile
doesn't include it (maybe it doesn't want freezer for some reason?).
CONFIG_COGRUP_FREEZER is in init/Kconfig, so allyesconfig enables it
but as CONFIG_FREEZER definition isn't visible, we end up with broken
config CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER && !CONFIG_FREEZER.

Maybe we need to move CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER to Kconfig.freezer if tile
actually doesn't want freezer?

Thanks.
