4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx> commit 79bf31a3b2a7ca467cfec8ff97d359a77065d01f upstream. md_submit_flush_data calls pers->make_request, which missed the suspend check. Fix it with the new md_handle_request API.
