gfs2: move freeze glock outside the make_fs_rw and _ro functions

Before this patch, sister functions gfs2_make_fs_rw and gfs2_make_fs_ro locked
(held) the freeze glock by calling gfs2_freeze_lock and gfs2_freeze_unlock.
The problem is, not all the callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro should be doing this.
The three callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro are: remount (gfs2_reconfigure),
signal_our_withdraw, and unmount (gfs2_put_super). But when unmounting the
file system we can get into the following circular lock dependency:

deactivate_super
   down_write(&s->s_umount); <-------------------------------------- s_umount
   deactivate_locked_super
      gfs2_kill_sb
         kill_block_super
            generic_shutdown_super
               gfs2_put_super
                  gfs2_make_fs_ro
                     gfs2_glock_nq_init sd_freeze_gl
                        freeze_go_sync
                           if (freeze glock in SH)
                              freeze_super (vfs)
                                 down_write(&sb->s_umount); <------- s_umount

This patch moves the hold of the freeze glock outside the two sister rw/ro
functions to their callers, but it doesn't request the glock from
gfs2_put_super, thus eliminating the circular dependency.
