It will be stuck/blocked here as freeze_bdev() now holds the write 
lock for all the cases including SB_FREEZE_WRITE. As freeze_bdev()
holds the write lock, I think f2fs_stop_checkpoint() should be safe
even without mnt_want_write_file().

I have posted v3 as per Chao's comments to exclude mnt_want_write_file()
for F2FS_GOING_DOWN_FULLSYNC case.
Please check and let me know if there are any further comments.
