Subject: [PATCH] fs/block_dev.c: always return error in thaw_bdev()

When triggering thaw-filesystems via magic sysrq, the system enters a
loop in do_thaw_one(), as thaw_bdev() still returns success if
bd_fsfreeze_count == 0. To fix this, let thaw_bdev() always return
error (and simplify the code a bit at the same time).
