filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystems
...
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.
The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.
For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.
I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).
I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.
