[PATCH][BUGFIX] dm-raid1: fix suspend stuck of failed device

I appreciate your review.

Thanks,
Taka


The recovery can't start because there are pending bios and therefore
dm_rh_stop_recovery deadlocks.

When there are pending bios in the hold list, the recovery waits for
the completion of the bios after recovery_count is acquired.
The recovery_count is released when the recovery finished, however,
the bios in the hold list are processed after dm_rh_stop_recovery() in
mirror_presuspend(). dm_rh_stop_recovery() also acquires recovery_count,
then deadlock occurs.

To prevent deadlock, bios in the hold list should be flushed before
dm_rh_stop_recovery() is called in mirror_suspend().
