On a thawed filesystem, the freeze glock is held in shared mode. In
order to initiate a cluster-wide freeze, the node initiating the freeze
drops the freeze glock and grabs it in exclusive mode. The other nodes
recognize this as contention on the freeze glock; function
freeze_go_callback is invoked. This indicates to them that they must
freeze the filesystem locally, drop the freeze glock, and then
re-acquire it in shared mode before being able to unfreeze the
filesystem locally.
While a node is trying to re-acquire the freeze glock in shared mode,
additional contention can occur. In that case, the node must behave in
the same way as above.
Unfortunately, freeze_go_callback() contains a check that causes it to
bail out when the freeze glock isn't held in shared mode. Fix that to
allow the glock to be unlocked or held in shared mode.
In addition, update a reference to trylock_super() which has been
renamed to super_trylock_shared() in the meantime.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
