The kernel power management now supports allowing the VFS to handle filesystem freezing freezes and thawing. Take advantage of that and remove the kthread freezing. This is needed so that we properly really stop IO in flight without races after userspace has been frozen. Without this we rely on kthread freezing and its semantics are loose and error prone. The filesystem therefore is in charge of properly dealing with quiescing of the filesystem through its callbacks if it thinks it knows better than how the VFS handles it.
