fs: allow all writers to be frozen

During freeze/thaw we need to be able to freeze all writers during
suspend/hibernate. Otherwise tasks such as systemd-journald that mmap a
file and write to it will not be frozen after we've already frozen the
filesystem.

This has some risk of not being able to freeze processes in case a
process has acquired SB_FREEZE_PAGEFAULT under mmap_sem or
SB_FREEZE_INTERNAL under some other filesytem specific lock. If the
filesystem is frozen, a task can block on the frozen filesystem with
e.g., mmap_sem held. If some other task then blocks on grabbing that
mmap_sem, hibernation ill fail because it is unable to hibernate a task
holding mmap_sem. This could be fixed by making a range of filesystem
related locks use freezable sleeping. That's impractical and not
warranted just for suspend/hibernate. Assume that this is an infrequent
problem and we've given userspace a way to skip filesystem freezing
through a sysfs file.
