Subject: [PATCH 6/6] fs: add automatic kernel fs freeze / thaw and remove kthread freezing
Add support to automatically handle freezing and thawing filesystems
during the kernel's suspend/resume cycle.
This is needed so that we properly really stop IO in flight without
races after userspace has been frozen. Without this we rely on
kthread freezing and its semantics are loose and error prone.
For instance, even though a kthread may use try_to_freeze() and end
up being frozen we have no way of being sure that everything that
has been spawned asynchronously from it (such as timers) have also
been stopped as well.
A long term advantage of also adding filesystem freeze / thawing
supporting during suspend / hibernation is that long term we may
be able to eventually drop the kernel's thread freezing completely
as it was originally added to stop disk IO in flight as we hibernate
or suspend.
This does not remove the superfluous freezer calls on all filesystems.
Each filesystem must remove all the kthread freezer stuff and peg
the fs_type flags as supporting auto-freezing with the FS_AUTOFREEZE
flag.
Subsequent patches remove the kthread freezer usage from each
filesystem, one at a time to make all this work bisectable.
Once all filesystems remove the usage of the kthread freezer we
can remove the FS_AUTOFREEZE flag.
