[PATCH] fs/block_dev.c: return the right error in thaw_bdev()

From: Pierre Morel
Date: Tue Oct 04 2016 - 04:54:07 EST


When triggering thaw-filesystems via magic sysrq, the system enters a
loop in do_thaw_one(), as thaw_bdev() still returns success if
bd_fsfreeze_count == 0. To fix this, let thaw_bdev() always return
error (and simplify the code a bit at the same time).
