[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/4] dm-core: Implement waiting for barrier in dm_suspend request

Implement waiting for barrier in dm_suspend request.

suspend_lock cannot be used inside barrier processing,
because there can be generated new barrier request during suspend
process (e.g. in lock_fs() call).

Add wait for for ongoing barrier to finish before suspending.

There are two status bits used:
DMF_BLOCK_IO -> all ios are queued
DMF_BARRIER  -> device is processing barrier (always include BLOCK_IO too).

Suspend call simply waits till DMF_BARRIER disappear and immediately
and switch to BLOCK_IO to prevent another barrier to start.
