Alasdair G Kergon 2ca3310e78 [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.
