fs/super.c: fix race between freeze_super() and thaw_super()
Change thaw_super() to check frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE rather than
frozen == SB_UNFROZEN, otherwise it can race with freeze_super() which
drops sb->s_umount after SB_FREEZE_WRITE to preserve the lock ordering.
In this case thaw_super() will wrongly call s_op->unfreeze_fs() before
it was actually frozen, and call sb_freeze_unlock() which leads to the
unbalanced percpu_up_write(). Unfortunately lockdep can't detect this,
so this triggers misc BUG_ON()'s in kernel/rcu/sync.c.
