Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: Prevent s_writer rw_sem count mismatch in
 f2fs_evict_inode

If f2fs_evict_inode is called between freeze_super and thaw_super, the
s_writer rwsem count may become negative, resulting in hang.

CPU1                       CPU2

f2fs_resize_fs()           f2fs_evict_inode()
  f2fs_freeze
    set SBI_IS_FREEZING
                             skip sb_start_intwrite
  f2fs_unfreeze
    clear SBI_IS_FREEZING
                             sb_end_intwrite

To solve this problem, the call to sb_end_write is determined by whether
sb_start_intwrite is called, rather than the current freezing status.
