xfs: mark all internal workqueues as freezable Workqueues must be explicitly set as freezable to ensure they are frozen in the assocated part of the hibernation/suspend sequence. Freezing of workqueues and kernel threads is important to ensure that modifications are not made on-disk after the hibernation image has been created. Otherwise, the in-memory state can become inconsistent with what is on disk and eventually lead to filesystem corruption. We have reports of free space btree corruptions that occur immediately after restore from hibernate that suggest the xfs-eofblocks workqueue could be causing such problems if it races with hibernation. Mark all of the internal XFS workqueues as freezable to ensure nothing changes on-disk once the freezer infrastructure freezes kernel threads and creates the hibernation image.
