Hi!

commit 5df96f2b9f58a5d2dc1f30fe7de75e197f2c25f2 upstream.

Commit adc0daad366b62ca1bce3e2958a40b0b71a8b8b3 ("dm: report suspended
device during destroy") broke integrity recalculation.

The problem is dm_suspended() returns true not only during suspend,
but also during resume. So this race condition could occur:
1. dm_integrity_resume calls queue_work(ic->recalc_wq, &ic->recalc_work)
2. integrity_recalc (&ic->recalc_work) preempts the current thread
3. integrity_recalc calls if (unlikely(dm_suspended(ic->ti))) goto unlock_ret;
4. integrity_recalc exits and no recalculating is done.

To fix this race condition, add a function dm_post_suspending that is
only true during the postsuspend phase and use it instead of
dm_suspended().

Something is wrong with signoff here...

Heh, and the same thing happened with the stable tag:

	Cc: stable vger kernel org # v4.18+

But given that this is the way the upstream commit looks like we can't
do much here.
