xfs: fix filesystsem freeze race in xfs_trans_alloc
As pointed out by Jan xfs_trans_alloc can race with a concurrent filesystem freeze when it sleeps during the memory allocation. Fix this by moving the wait_for_freeze call after the memory allocation. This means moving the freeze into the low-level _xfs_trans_alloc helper, which thus grows a new argument. Also fix up some comments in that area while at it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>
