Call try_to_freeze() in sleep_thread() only when its safe to sleep.
do_read() and do_write() calls sleep_thread with lock held.
Make sure these wont call try_to_freeze() by passing can_freeze flag
to sleep_thread.
Thank you. This is was Alan asked for and I forgot.

You could add

|Calling try_to_freeze() with a lock hold was done since day one in
|f_mass_storage but since commit 0f9548ca1 ("lockdep: check that no
|locks held at freeze time") lockdep complains about it.

so we have an explanation why it is suddenly a bad thing.

okay will send v2 with commit log amend and your Acked-by
