drbd: fix a race between start_resync and send_and_submit

Browse source

In the drbd make request function, specifically in
drbd_send_and_submit(), we decide whether we want to send the actual
write request, or only a "set this block out of sync" information.

We do so based on the current connection state, while holding the req_lock.
The connection state is not supposed to change while holding the req_lock.

But in drbd_start_resync, we did change that state anyways,
while only holding the global_state_lock, which is enough to change
sync-after dependencies (paused vs active resync), but
not good enough to change the connection state.

Fix: in drbd_start_resync, first grab the req_lock to serialize with
drbd_send_and_submit(), before grabbing the global_state_lock
to be able to evaluate the sync-after dependencies.
