ext4: fix lockdep warning when enabling MMP 

[ Upstream commit 949f95ff39 ]

When we enable MMP in ext4_multi_mount_protect() during mount or
remount, we end up calling sb_start_write() from write_mmp_block(). This
triggers lockdep warning because freeze protection ranks above s_umount
semaphore we are holding during mount / remount. The problem is harmless
because we are guaranteed the filesystem is not frozen during mount /
remount but still let's fix the warning by not grabbing freeze
protection from ext4_multi_mount_protect().
