[RFC v2 1/6] fs: provide unlocked helper for freeze_super()

[Luis Chamberlain]

freeze_super() holds a write lock, however we wish to also enable
callers which already hold the write lock. To do this provide a helper
and make freeze_super() use it. This way, all that freeze_super() does
now is lock handling and active count management.

This change has no functional changes.
