Subject: [PATCH 2/4] freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks

Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>
Subject: [PATCH 2/4] freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks

Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we
might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process.  Instead
grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.

Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that
grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.
