Subject: [PATCH 4/4] change thaw_super() to re-acquire s_writers.lock_map

Change thaw_super() to re-acquire the "write" locks we are going to
release. This way s_op->unfreeze_fs(sb) is called with these locks
held as it seen by lockdep, and this matches the reality. This adds
another trivial helper, sb_freeze_acquire().
