ext4: allow an active handle to be started when freezing

ext4_journal_start_sb() should not prevent an active handle from being
started due to s_frozen.  Otherwise, deadlock is easy to happen, below
is a situation.

================================================
     freeze         |       truncate
================================================
                    |  ext4_ext_truncate()
    freeze_super()  |   starts a handle
    sets s_frozen   |
                    |  ext4_ext_truncate()
                    |  holds i_data_sem
  ext4_freeze()     |
  waits for updates |
                    |  ext4_free_blocks()
                    |  calls dquot_free_block()
                    |
                    |  dquot_free_blocks()
                    |  calls ext4_dirty_inode()
                    |
                    |  ext4_dirty_inode()
                    |  trys to start an active
                    |  handle
                    |
                    |  block due to s_frozen
