   It's a bit confusing (for reviewer) to remove the documentation here when
you remove the whole function in a later patch...

Ok. I will get rid of the function and its documentation together
in a later patch.

   It would be cleaner to do this somewhere in do_thaw_one() and not here.
Also you won't have to pass the emergency parameter then...

Good point. In the next iteration sb->s_freeze_count is updated
by the caller when appropriate. I will remove the emergency
parameter too.


Also it might
be more logical for __thaw_super() to expect also s_freeze_mutex locked and
handle the locking in thaw_super().

I think I will keep this as is so that I do not need to add explicit
locking to the emergency thaw code, which calls __thaw_super
directly.

Thank you for your feedback!
