ipc/msg.c: use freezable blocking call

Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in a msgrcv call during suspend and
resume by calling a freezable blocking call.  Previous patches modified
the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads that are blocked in
freezable blocking calls.

This call was selected to be converted to a freezable call because it
doesn't hold any locks or release any resources when interrupted that
might be needed by another freezing task or a kernel driver during
suspend, and is a common site where idle userspace tasks are blocked.
