Userspace can freeze a filesystem using the FIFREEZE ioctl or by
suspending the block device; this state persists until userspace thaws
the filesystem with the FITHAW ioctl or resuming the block device.
Since commit 18e9e5104f ("Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for
the fsfreeze ioctl") we only allow the first freeze command to succeed.
The kernel may decide that it is necessary to freeze a filesystem for
its own internal purposes, such as suspends in progress, filesystem fsck
activities, or quiescing a device prior to removal. Userspace thaw
commands must never break a kernel freeze, and kernel thaw commands
shouldn't undo userspace's freeze command.
Introduce a couple of freeze holder flags and wire it into the
sb_writers state. One kernel and one userspace freeze are allowed to
coexist at the same time; the filesystem will not thaw until both are
lifted.
I wonder if the f2fs/gfs2 code should be using a kernel freeze here, but
for now we'll use FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE to preserve existing
behaviors.
