fs/block_dev: fix potential NULL ptr deref in freeze_bdev()
Calling freeze_bdev() twice on the same block device without mounted filesystem get_super() will return NULL, which will lead to NULL-ptr dereference later in drop_super(). Check get_super() result to fix that. Note, that this is a purely theoretical issue. We have only 3 freeze_bdev() callers. 2 of them are in filesystem code and used on a device with mounted fs. The third one in lock_fs() has protection in upper-layer code against freezing block device the second time without thawing it first.
