md: allow metadata updates while suspending an array - fix

mainline inclusion
from mainline-4.20-rc1
commit 059421e041eb461fb2b3e81c9adaec18ef03ca3c
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 5837
CVE: NA
---------------------------

Commit 35bfc521 ("md: allow metadata update while suspending.")
added support for allowing md_check_recovery() to still perform
metadata updates while the array is entering the 'suspended' state.
This is needed to allow the processes of entering the state to
complete.

Unfortunately, the patch doesn't really work.  The test for
"mddev->suspended" at the start of md_check_recovery() means that the
function doesn't try to do anything at all while entering suspend.

This patch moves the code of updating the metadata while suspending to
*before* the test on mddev->suspended.
