From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
If the filesystem is mounted or remounted read-only, stop the sync
worker that tries to flush or cover the log if the filesystem is
dirty. It's read-only, so it isn't dirty. Restart it on a remount,rw
as necessary. This avoids the need for RO checks in the work.
Similarly, stop the sync work when the filesystem is frozen, and
start it again when the filesysetm is thawed. This avoids the need
for special freeze checks in the work.
