Jiri's reply:
"This patch just removes pointless try_to_freeze(), that's guaranteed not to do anything and return immediately, as the btrfs kthread is not freezable. So I don't think it's needed in stable; the semantics is equivalent before and after."
Sasha was fine with dropping the patch from stable candidates and this has not changed. Thanks.
