Subject: dm: hold suspend_lock while suspending device during device deletion
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ab7c7bb6f4ab95dbca96fcfc4463cd69843e3e24 upstream.
__dm_destroy() must take the suspend_lock so that its presuspend and
postsuspend calls do not race with an internal suspend.
