freeze_processes: implement kludges for cgroup v1

Browse Source 
Cgroup v1 freezer has always been problematic, failing to freeze a
cgroup.

In runc, we have implemented a few kludges to increase the chance of
succeeding, but those are used when runc freezes a cgroup for its own
purposes (for "runc pause" and to modify device properties for cgroup
v1).

When criu is used, it fails to freeze a cgroup from time to time
(see [1], [2]). Let's try adding kludges similar to ones in runc.

Alas, I have absolutely no way to test this, so please review carefully.
