The issue occurs when gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails in gfs2_fill_super(). If !sb_rdonly(sb), threads for the quotad and logd were started, however, in the error path for gfs2_freeze_lock_shared(), the threads are not stopped by gfs2_destroy_threads() before jumping to fail_per_node.
Introduce fail_threads to handle stopping the threads if the threads were started.
