Hi,

I checked freeze function with using below test program at 3.2.0-rc4, 
then, I got following messeages and the test program hanged up.
I think this bug is still in  3.2.0-rc4...

The test program:
-----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

DEV_1=/dev/sda5
MNT_1=/tmp/sda5
LOOP=500

if [[ ! -d $MNT_1 ]]
then
        mkdir -p $MNT_1
fi

mkfs -t ext4 $DEV_1
mount $DEV_1 $MNT_1

./fsstress -d $MNT_1/tmp -n 10000 -p 100 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
PID=$!

for ((i=0; i<LOOP; i++))
do
        echo LOOP: $i
        fsfreeze -f $MNT_1
        fsfreeze -u $MNT_1
done

kill $PID
-----------------------------------------------------------

The messages I got when I ran the test program is below.
