lib/deploy: Use a FIFREEZE/FITHAW cycle for /boot
See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=149520244919284&w=2 XFS doesn't flush the journal on `syncfs()`. GRUB doesn't know how to follow the XFS journal, so if the filesystem is in a dirty state (possible with xfs `/boot`, extremely likely with `/`, if the journaled data includes content for `/boot`, the system may be unbootable if a system crash occurs. Fix this by doing a `FIFREEZE`+`FITHAW` cycle. Now, most people probably would have replaced the `syncfs()` invocation with those two ioctls. But this would have become (I believe) the *only* place in libostree where we weren't safe against interruption. The failure mode would be ugly; nothing else would be able to write to the filesystem until manual intervention. The real fix here I think is to land an atomic `FIFREEZETHAW` ioctl in the kernel. I might try a patch. In the meantime though, let's jump through some hoops and set up a "watchdog" child process that acts as a fallback unfreezer.
