Subject: [RFC v2 4/6] fs: distinguish between user initiated freeze and kernel initiated freeze
Userspace can initiate a freeze call using ioctls. If the kernel decides
to freeze a filesystem later it must be able to distinguish if userspace
had initiated the freeze, so that it does not unfreeze it later
automatically on resume.
Likewise if the kernel is initiating a freeze on its own it should *not*
fail to freeze a filesystem if a user had already frozen it on our behalf.
This same concept applies to thawing, even if its not possible for
userspace to beat the kernel in thawing a filesystem. This logic however
has never applied to userspace freezing and thawing, two consecutive
userspace freeze calls will results in only the first one succeeding, so
we must retain the same behaviour in userspace.
This doesn't implement yet kernel initiated filesystem freeze calls,
this will be done in subsequent calls. This change should introduce
no functional changes, it just extends the definitions a frozen
filesystem to account for future kernel initiated filesystem freeze.
