But this change has no effect?

Firstly, this last __schedule() should not return, note the BUG() we have.

Secondly, this zombie is already PF_NOFREEZE, freeze_task() will return
false anyway.
Sorry, but in our tests with a large number of zombie tasks, returning 
early reduced the overhead. Even though freeze_task() would return false 
for PF_NOFREEZE, skipping the extra path still saved time in our 
suspend/freezer loop.
