gfs2: Abort gfs2_freeze if io error is seen
Before this patch, an io error, such as -EIO writing to the journal
would cause function gfs2_freeze to go into an infinite loop,
continuously retrying the freeze operation. But nothing ever clears
the -EIO except unmount after withdraw, which is impossible if the
freeze operation never ends (fails). Instead you get:
[ 6499.767994] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: error freezing FS: -5
[ 6499.773058] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: retrying...
[ 6500.791957] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: error freezing FS: -5
[ 6500.797015] gfs2: fsid=dm-32.0: retrying...
This patch adds a check for -EIO in gfs2_freeze, and if seen, it
dequeues the freeze glock, aborts the loop and returns the error.
Also, there's no need to pass the freeze holder to function
gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean since it's only called in one place and
it's a well-known superblock pointer, so this simplifies that.
