Hi Naresh!

Thank you for the report!

The interaction between ptrace and freezer is complicated
(as ptrace in general),so there are known cases when spurious
cgroup transitions (frozen <-> non frozen <-> frozen ) can happen.

Does it create any difficulties? If so, I'll send a diff to ignore
the result of this test for now.

Thank you!

Can you, please, elaborate on this?
