If we try a kernel freeze but the fs was already frozen by userspace, we
return ... zero?
What if userspace thaws the fs immediately afterwards? The kernel
caller is still running, and now it erroneously thinks the fs is frozen.
Won't that break the suspend freezer?
TBH I was more thinking about fscounters scrub, which will report false
corruptions if the fs gets unfrozen while it is running.
