Subject: [PATCH]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>
Subject: fs / ext3: Always unlock updates in ext3_freeze()

In analogy with ext4 make ext3_freeze() always call
journal_unlock_updates() to prevent it from leaving a locked mutex
behind.  Accordingly, modify ext3_unfreeze() so that it doesn't
call journal_unlock_updates() any more.
