It's a bit confusing because lxc-freeze doesn't itself freeze the
container, rather it sends a command to the monitor - the process which
cloned the container - asking it to freeze the container.

The actual freezing is simply done by writing 'FROZEN' into the
freezer.state file for the container init.
