Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] ext4: do not update s_last_mounted of a frozen fs

If fs is frozen after mount and before the first file open, the
update of s_last_mounted bypasses freeze protection and prints out
a WARNING splat:

$ mount /vdf
$ fsfreeze -f /vdf
$ cat /vdf/foo

[   31.578555] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1415 at
fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:53 ext4_journal_check_start+0x48/0x82

[   31.614016] Call Trace:
[   31.614997]  __ext4_journal_start_sb+0xe4/0x1a4
[   31.616771]  ? ext4_file_open+0xb6/0x189
[   31.618094]  ext4_file_open+0xb6/0x189

If fs is frozen, skip s_last_mounted update.

[backport hint: to apply to stable tree, need to apply also patches
 vfs: add the sb_start_intwrite_trylock() helper
 ext4: factor out helper ext4_sample_last_mounted()]

Fixes: bc0b0d6d69ee ("ext4: update the s_last_mounted field in the
superblock")
