[PATCH v5 2/2] xfs: prevent close() from hanging on frozen filesystems

[Aditya Srivastava <aditya.ansh182@gmail.com>]

From: Aditya Prakash Srivastava <aditya.ansh182@gmail.com>

When a file with active speculative post-EOF preallocations is closed,
xfs_file_release() synchronously triggers xfs_free_eofblocks() to clean
them up. This requires allocating a write transaction (xfs_trans_alloc),
which blocks indefinitely if the filesystem is currently frozen or in the
process of freezing, as it waits to acquire the superblock's write lock.

As a result, a close() system call on a read-write file descriptor can
hang indefinitely in percpu_rwsem_wait() until the filesystem is thawed,
even if the file is closed by a non-writer process or after all writing
activity has already ceased.

To fix this properly and avoid any potential race conditions where a freeze
might come in immediately after a writable check, pass the new
XFS_TRANS_WRITECOUNT_TRYLOCK flag to xfs_trans_alloc() when freeing
speculative preallocations in xfs_file_release().

If xfs_free_eofblocks() returns -EAGAIN on a trylock failure, we cleanly
bypass setting XFS_EOFBLOCKS_RELEASED on the inode, ensuring subsequent
releases or the background blockgc garbage collector can successfully retry
the cleanup once the filesystem thaws.

Also, add the new trans_flags parameter to xfs_free_eofblocks() to make
its usage stand out, and update existing callers to pass 0 to preserve
standard blocking paths.
