gfs2: fix race between gfs2_freeze_func and unmount

As part of the freeze operation, gfs2_freeze_func() is left blocking
on a request to hold the sd_freeze_gl in SH. This glock is held in EX
by the gfs2_freeze() code.

A subsequent call to gfs2_unfreeze() releases the EXclusively held
sd_freeze_gl, which allows gfs2_freeze_func() to acquire it in SH and
resume its operation.

gfs2_unfreeze(), however, doesn't wait for gfs2_freeze_func() to complete.
If a umount is issued right after unfreeze, it could result in an
inconsistent filesystem because some journal data (statfs update) isn't
written out.

Refer to commit 24972557 for a more detailed explanation of how
freeze/unfreeze work.

This patch causes gfs2_unfreeze() to wait for gfs2_freeze_func() to
complete before returning to the user.
