Subject: [PATCH 3/4] move rwsem_release() from sb_wait_write() to
	freeze_super()

Move the "fool the lockdep" code from sb_wait_write() into the new
simple helper, sb_lockdep_release(), called once before return from
freeze_super().

This is preparation, but imo this makes sense in any case. This way
we do not hide from lockdep the "write" locks we hold when we call
s_op->freeze_fs(sb).
