Hi Kuai

Could you explain why step1 and step2 from this comment can happen
simultaneously? From the log, the process should be
The process is :
dev_remove->dm_destroy->__dm_destroy->dm_table_postsuspend_targets(raid_postsuspend)
-> dm_table_destroy(raid_dtr).
After suspending the array, it calls raid_dtr. So these two functions
can't happen simultaneously.

I'm not testing this patch. I want to understand the patch well. So I
need to understand the issue first. I can't understand how this
deadlock (step1,step2) happens.
