Subject: [PATCH] jfs: Functions jfs_freeze() and jfs_unfreeze() always return 0

The mentioned functions do not pay attention to the error codes returned
by the functions updateSuper(), lmLogInit() and lmLogShutdown(). It brings to
system crash later when writing to log.

The patch adds corresponding code to check and return the error codes
and to print correct error messages in case of errors.

Found by Linux File System Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
