If there's a transaction, we'll call commit a few lines below. With the
frozen status set to 1, the delayed iputs will be skipped

here. Is that intentional?

Also, the use of atomic (probably) works, but just relies on the locked
semantics of the updates although there are no inc/dec operations. An
equivalent would be a bare int with barriers.

Next, I'm not sure if the freeze/thaw could be called multiple times.
Ie. with this patch, if I call freeze twice and thaw once, the
filesystem's frozen status would be 'normal', although the frozen status
as seen by vfs would be 'frozen'. I haven't looked if the vfs magic does
not prevent that completely though.
