[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 30/47] ext4: protect ext4_release_dquot against freezing

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 530fea29ef82e169cd7fe048c2b7baaeb85a0028 ]

Protect ext4_release_dquot against freezing so that we
don't try to start a transaction when FS is frozen, leading
to warnings.

Further, avoid taking the freeze protection if a transaction
is already running so that we don't need end up in a deadlock
as described in

  46e294efc355 ext4: fix deadlock with fs freezing and EA inodes
