Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/13] dm: remove dead codes

This patch removes dead codes for the noflush suspend.
No functional change.

This patch is just a clean up of the codes and not functionally
related to request-based dm.  But included here due to literal
dependency.

The dm_queue_flush(md, DM_WQ_FLUSH_ALL, NULL) in dm_suspend()
is never invoked because:
  - The 'goto flush_and_out' is same as 'goto out', because
    the 'goto flush_and_out' is called only when '!noflush'
  - If the 'r && noflush' is true, the interrupt check code above
    is invoked and 'goto out'
