It makes no sense having the emergency thaw code in fs/buffer.c when all of
it's operations are one superblocks and the code it executes is all in
fs/super.c. Move the code there and clean it up.

So unless I'm missing something this is wrong.  We do __iterate_supers() which
does down_write(sb) and then call into this.  Lets imagine a perfect world where
the sb was only frozen once.  So we go into __thaw_super() and return 0 because
we were successfull and do deactivate_locked_super() which does
up_write(s_umount), and then we loop because we want to get an -EINVAL to know
we completely unfroze, so we call into __thaw_super(sb) without s_umount held
and then we get our error and do up_write(s_umount) _again_.  So this needs to
be reworked to be correct ;).

You are right. I had fixed that locally, but it seems that I sent an
old version of patches 4 and 6.

The current version turns
    while (!thaw_super_emergency(sb));
into
    thaw_super_emergency(sb);
and sets sb->s_freeze_count to 1  before calling __thaw_super(),
which should address the problem you pointed out.

Thanks,
Fernando
