From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
thaw_bdev() has re-enterency guards to allow freezes to nest
together. That is, it ensures that the filesystem is not thawed
until the last thaw command is issued. This is needed to prevent the
filesystem from being unfrozen while an existing freezer is still
operating on the filesystem in a frozen state (e.g. dm-snapshot).
Currently, freeze_super() and thaw_super() bypasses these guards,
and as a result manual freezing and unfreezing via the ioctl methods
do not nest correctly. hence mixing userspace directed freezes with
block device level freezes result in inconsistency due to premature
thawing of the filesystem.
Move the re-enterency guards to the superblock and into freeze_super
and thaw_super() so that userspace directed freezes nest correctly
again.
