freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks
Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.
