From: Xiao Ni <xni@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fa1944bbe6220eb929e2c02e5e8706b908565711 upstream. One customer reports a bug: raid5 is hung when changing thread cnt while resync is running. The stripes are all in conf->handle_list and new threads can't handle them. Commit b39f35ebe86d ("md: don't quiesce in mddev_suspend()") removes pers->quiesce from mddev_suspend/resume. Before this patch, mddev_suspend needs to wait for all ios including sync io to finish. Now it's used to only wait normal io. Fix this by calling raid5_quiesce from raid5_store_group_thread_cnt directly to wait all sync requests to finish before changing the group cnt.
