Subject: thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency
Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible() to avoid missing freezer wakeups. A
try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the
khugepaged_alloc_hugepage tight loop too in case of the allocation
failing repeatedly, and wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it
too.
khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next
minute but it's better if it freezes immediately.
