From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx>
.quiesce is called with mddev lock hold at most places. There are few
exceptions. Calling .quesce without the lock hold could create races. For
example, the .quesce of raid1 can't be recursively. The purpose of the patches
is to fix a race in raid5-cache. The raid5-cache .quesce will write md
superblock and should be called with mddev lock hold.
