[PATCH 1/2] freezer: add unsafe versions of freezable helpers

From: Colin Cross
Date: Fri May 03 2013 - 17:12:37 EST


NFS calls the freezable helpers with locks held, which is unsafe
and caused lockdep warnings when 6aa9707 "lockdep: check that no
locks held at freeze time" was applied (reverted in dbf520a).
Add new *_unsafe versions of the helpers that will not run the
lockdep test when 6aa9707 is reapplied, and call them from NFS.
