ext4: protect ext4_release_dquot against freezing

[ Upstream commit 530fea29ef82e169cd7fe048c2b7baaeb85a0028 ]

Protect ext4_release_dquot against freezing so that we
don't try to start a transaction when FS is frozen, leading
to warnings.

Further, avoid taking the freeze protection if a transaction
is already running so that we don't need end up in a deadlock
as described in
