super: add filesystem freezing helpers for suspend and hibernate

Allow the power subsystem to support filesystem freeze for
suspend and hibernate.

For some kernel subsystems it is paramount that they are guaranteed that
they are the owner of the freeze to avoid any risk of deadlocks. This is
the case for the power subsystem. Enable it to recognize whether it did
actually freeze the filesystem.

If userspace has 10 filesystems and suspend/hibernate manges to freeze 5
and then fails on the 6th for whatever odd reason (current or future)
then power needs to undo the freeze of the first 5 filesystems. It can't
just walk the list again because while it's unlikely that a new
filesystem got added in the meantime it still cannot tell which
filesystems the power subsystem actually managed to get a freeze
reference count on that needs to be dropped during thaw.

There's various ways out of this ugliness. For example, record the
filesystems the power subsystem managed to freeze on a temporary list in
the callbacks and then walk that list backwards during thaw to undo the
freezing or make sure that the power subsystem just actually exclusively
freezes things it can freeze and marking such filesystems as being owned
by power for the duration of the suspend or resume cycle. I opted for
the latter as that seemed the clean thing to do even if it means more
code changes.

If hibernation races with filesystem freezing (e.g. DM reconfiguration),
then hibernation need not freeze a filesystem because it's already
frozen but userspace may thaw the filesystem before hibernation actually
happens.

If the race happens the other way around, DM reconfiguration may
unexpectedly fail with EBUSY.

So allow FREEZE_EXCL to nest with other holders. An exclusive freezer
cannot be undone by any of the other concurrent freezers.
