[ Upstream commit 27fb5a72f50aa770dd38b0478c07acacef97e3e7 ]
I noticed that fsfreeze can take a very long time to freeze an XFS if
there happens to be a GETFSMAP caller running in the background. I also
happened to notice the following in dmesg:

These two things appear to be related. The assertion trips when another
thread initiates a fsmap request (which uses an empty transaction) after
the freezer waited for m_active_trans to hit zero but before the the
freezer executes the WARN_ON just prior to calling xfs_log_quiesce.
The lengthy delays in freezing happen because the freezer calls
xfs_wait_buftarg to clean out the buffer lru list. Meanwhile, the
GETFSMAP caller is continuing to grab and release buffers, which means
that it can take a very long time for the buffer lru list to empty out.
We fix both of these races by calling sb_start_write to obtain freeze
protection while using empty transactions for GETFSMAP and for metadata
scrubbing. The other two users occur during mount, during which time we
cannot fs freeze.
