Subject: [PATCH] ext4: do not update s_last_mounted of a frozen fs

If fs is frozen after mount and before the first file open, the update of s_last_mounted bypasses freeze protection and prints out a WARNING splat:

$ mount /vdf
$ fsfreeze -f /vdf
$ cat /vdf/foo

[   31.578555] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1415 at

If fs is frozen, skip s_last_mounted update.
