Subject: [PATCH] md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start()

If mddev_suspend() races with md_write_start() we can deadlock with mddev_suspend() waiting for the request that is currently in md_write_start() to complete the ->make_request() call, and md_write_start() waiting for the metadata to be updated to mark the array as 'dirty'.
As metadata updates done by md_check_recovery() only happen then the mddev_lock() can be claimed, and as mddev_suspend() is often called with the lock held, these threads wait indefinitely for each other.

We fix this by having md_write_start() abort if mddev_suspend() is happening, and ->make_request() aborts if md_write_start() aborted.
md_make_request() can detect this abort, decrease the ->active_io count, and wait for mddev_suspend().
