Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
  series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
  devices:

   - Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
     corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
     and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
     mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
     nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
     kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
     opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
     allowed.

     Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
     particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
     device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
     issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
     in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
     involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
     device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
     data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
     thus prevent kernel crashes.

     Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
     crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
     mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
     that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.

     Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
     merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
     releases ago.

   - Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
     on the block device.

     This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
     associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
     allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
     that scans the global list of superblocks.

     Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
     chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
     That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.

     Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
     @fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
     mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
     So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
     work as before.

     There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
     case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
     never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
     for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
     that can happen whenever they're ready"
