[ Upstream commit 4e58543e7da4859c4ba61d15493e3522b6ad71fd ]
It turns out that the .freeze_super and .thaw_super operations require the filesystem to manage the superblock refcount itself. We are using the freeze_super() and thaw_super() helpers to mostly take care of that for us, but this means that the superblock may no longer be around by when thaw_super() returns, and gfs2_thaw_super() will then access freed memory. Take an extra superblock reference in gfs2_thaw_super() to fix that.
