6.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 86ad4cda79e0dade87d4bb0d32e1fe541d4a63e8 upstream. Because flush sync_work may trigger mddev_suspend() if there are spares, and this should never be done in IO path because mddev_suspend() is used to wait for IO. This problem is found by code review.
