I still disagree with this whole patch.  There is not reason to let
the freeze request timeout - an auto-unfreezing will only confuse the
hell out of the caller.  The only reason where the current XFS freeze
call can hang and this would be theoretically useful is when the
What happens when someone dirties so much data that vm swaps out
whatever process that frozen the filesystem?

I though that was why the timeout was there...
