Hmm.... what about encoding the fact that we are in the process of unmounting the file system as a flag to keep remount, freeing, etc. away?    The equivalent of the inode's I_FREEING flag?

After all, it's not like we want freeze to wait until the umount is finished, and then continue on its merry way with the remount operation.  We want it to fail, because we're unmounting the file system.   So maybe the real problem is a mutex really isn't the right abstraction?
