Um... doesn't this mean that we now cannot freeze network and pseudo

Also ... before this change, a successful freeze means that we retain
the elevated s_active during the freeze. Now the callers of this
function always call deactivate_locked_super, which decrements the
active count, even if the fs is actually frozen. The active count no
longer works the way it used to. Can that lead to freeing a frozen
super?
Alternately, I guess we could take our own s_active reference here.
