bdev: implement freeze and thaw holder operations

The old method of implementing block device freeze and thaw operations required us to rely on get_active_super() to walk the list of all superblocks on the system to find any superblock that might use the block device. This is wasteful and not very pleasant overall. Now that we can finally go straight from block device to owning superblock things become way simpler.
