Subject: [RFC PATCH] fs: file freeze support

We introduce per-file freeze feature for unifying defrag ext4 and xfs
as first ingredient. We get the idea courtesy of Dave Chinner
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/14/759)
per-file freeze will be used to avoid that file is not modified while
userspace is doing the defrag.

This patch tries to implement file write freeze functionality.
Introduce new inode state, I_WRITE_FREEZED.
When this state is set, any process which tries to modify the file's address
space, either by pagefault mmap writes or using write(2), will block until
the this state is cleared. I_WRITE_FREEZED is set by calling FS_IOC_FWFREEZE
ioctl and clear by FS_IOC_FWTHAW ioctl.

File write freeze functionality, when used in conjunction with
inode's immutable flag can be used for creating truly stable file snapshots
wherein write freeze will prevent any modification to the file from already
open file descriptors and immutable flag will prevent any new modification
to the file. One of the intended uses for stable file snapshots would be in
the defragmentation applications which defrags single file.

For implementation purpose, initially we tried to keep percpu usage counters
inside struct inode just like there is struct sb_writers in super_block.
But considering that it will significantly bloat up struct inode when actually
the usage of file write freeze will be infrequent, we dropped this idea.
Instead we have tried to use already present filesystem freezing infrastructure.
Current approach makes it possible for implementing file write freeze without
bloating any of struct super_block/inode.
In FS_IOC_FWFREEZE, we wait for complete fs to be frozen, set I_WRITE_FREEZED to
inode's state and unfreeze the fs. 

TODO : prevent inode eviction when I_WRITE_FREEZED state is set.
TODO : xfstests testcase for file freeze.
