[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH 2/3] gfs2: Fix broken freeze_go_xmote_bh

The freeze glock was used in several places whenever a gfs2 file system
was frozen, thawed, mounted, unmounted, remounted, or withdrawn. It was
used to prevent those things from clashing with one another.
Function freeze_go_xmote_bh only checked if the journal was clean in
cases where the journal was LIVE. That's wrong because if the journal is
really live, it's a moving target and almost guaranteed to be dirty.
If the journal was not live, the check for a clean journal was skipped.
That's also wrong because sometimes the journal would be LIVE and
sometimes not: It was LIVE when gfs2_reconfigure locks the freeze lock
for "remount -o remount,ro." It was not LIVE when gfs2_fill_super called
gfs2_freeze_lock before gfs2_make_fs_rw sets the LIVE bit.
The problem was never noticed because gfs2_make_fs_rw had redundant code
for the exact same checks as freeze_go_xmote_bh.

This patch attempts to clean up the mess by removing the redundant code
from gfs2_make_fs_rw and changing the callers of gfs2_freeze_lock to
specify whether they need the journal checked for consistency:
If the journal consistency check is unwanted, they specify GL_SKIP in
the holder. If the check is required, they do not specify GL_SKIP.
Most callers determine if the consistency check is needed based on if
the journal is being transitioned from "not live" to "live": If it is
becoming live, the check is needed, otherwise it is not.
