freeze_bdev() will bail but leave the bd_fsfreeze_count incremented
if the get_active_super() does not find the superblock on our
super_blocks list to match.

This issue has been present since v2.6.29 during the introduction of the
ioctl_fsfreeze() and ioctl_fsthaw() via commit fcccf502540e3 ("filesystem
freeze: implement generic freeze feature").

I am not aware of any existing races which have triggered this
situation, however, if it does trigger it could mean leaving a
superblock with bd_fsfreeze_count always positive.
