Right, we could do that. I'd just note that the "wait until unfrozen" and
holding of sb->s_umount semaphore is equivalent to
mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write pair. But I agree
mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write is easier to understand and there's no reason
not to use it. So I'm for that simplification in the new syscall.
