[PATCH] device-mapper: fix md->lock deadlocks in core
This patch is an attempt to fix deadlocks discovered in the core dm. The problems boil down to md->lock having to be held in too many places, so I've split it into two: md->suspend_lock and md->io_lock. suspend_lock is now held throughout dm_suspended() as well as dm_resume() and dm_swap_table() so that these functions cannot run concurrently: there's no requirement for that and it added complexity. DMF_FS_LOCKED becomes redundant: DMF_SUSPENDED provides adequate protection.
