ovl: fix freeze protection bypass in ovl_write_iter()


Tested by re-writing to an open overlayfs file while upper ext4 is frozen:

  xfs_io -f /ovl/x
  xfs_io> pwrite 0 4096
                             fsfreeze -f /ext4
  xfs_io> pwrite 0 4096

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1492 at fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:53 \
           ext4_journal_check_start+0x48/0x82

After the fix, the second write blocks in ovl_write_iter() and avoids
hitting WARN_ON(sb->s_writers.frozen == SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE) in
ext4_journal_check_start().
