Before this patch, function gfs2_freeze would loop forever if the file system trying to be frozen is withdrawn. That's because function gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean tries to enqueue the glock of the journal and the gfs2_glock returns -EIO because you can't enqueue a journaled glock after a withdraw.
This patch moves the check for file system withdraw inside the loop so that the loop can end when withdraw occurs.
