qemu-ga: improve recovery options for fsfreeze
guest-fsfreeze-thaw relies on state information obtained from
guest-fsfreeze-freeze to determine what filesystems to unfreeze.
This is unreliable due to the fact that that state does not account
for FIFREEZE being issued by other processes, or previous instances
of qemu-ga. This means in certain situations we cannot thaw
filesystems even with a responsive qemu-ga instance at our disposal.
This patch allows guest-fsfreeze-thaw to be issued unconditionally.
It also adds some additional logic to allow us to thaw filesystems
regardless of how many times the filesystem's "frozen" refcount has
been incremented by any guest processes.
Also, guest-fsfreeze-freeze now operates atomically: on success all
freezable filesystems are frozen, and on error all filesystems are
thawed. The ambiguous "GUEST_FSFREEZE_STATUS_ERROR" state is no
longer entered.
