Konstantin Belousov 91e9474552 Make it possible to atomically resume writes on the mount and account
the write start, by adding a variation of the vfs_write_resume(9)
which accepts flags.

Use the new function to prevent a deadlock between parallel suspension
and snapshotting a UFS mount.  The ffs_snapshot() code performed
vfs_write_resume() followed by vn_start_write() while owning the
snaplock.  If the suspension intervene between resume and
vn_start_write(), the deadlock occured after the suspending thread
tried to lock the snaplock, most typically during the write in the
ffs_copyonwrite().
