Assuming you meant to ask about ro->rw, then yes it should get started
back up the next time something sets the cowblocks tag.  I'm not opposed
to starting it back up directly from the ro->rw handler.

I don't see a hard requirement to clean them up at freeze time, though
we certainly can do it for consistency's sake.
