mm/khugepaged: allow interruption of allocation sleep again

Browse Source 
Commit 1dfb059b94 ("thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency") fixed
khugepaged to do not block a system suspend.  But the result is that it
could not get interrupted before the given timeout because the condition
for the wait event is "false".

This patch puts back the original approach but it uses
freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible().  It does the right thing.  I am pretty
sure that the freezable variant was not used in the original fix only
because it was not available at that time.

The regression has been there for ages.  It was not critical.  It just
did the allocation throttling a little bit more aggressively.

I found this problem when converting the kthread to kthread worker API
and trying to understand the code.

This bug is thought to have minimal userspace-visible impact.  Somebody
could set a high alloc_sleep value by mistake, and then try to fix it
back, but khugepaged would keep sleeping until the high value expires.
