Just curious, why this change?

I think this can work if it is used only in kthread_stop(). But what if
another task wants to do hold_freezer_for_task(p) ? freezer_status.count
is recursive, but TIF_FREEZER_HELD is not. IOW, I believe this is not
generic enough.
Also, you are planning to add different freezing states (FE_HOTPLUG_CPU,
FE_SUSPEND, etc). In that case each of them needs a separate .count, because
it should be negative when try_to_freeze_tasks() returns. Now consider
the case when we are doing freeze_processes(FE_A | FE_B) ...
