dm_suspend is performed as part of the DM table reload that is being
done my multipathd during path failure. Seems DM no longer insures
inflight requests have finished during dm_suspend().
Before onstack plugging (< 2.6.39):
dm_suspend() -> dm_wait_for_completion() -> dm_unplug_all() -> dm_table_unplug_all()
After onstack plugging (>= 2.6.39, commit 7eaceaccab5f40bb):
dm_suspend's call to dm_wait_for_completion() no longer unplugs IO
(dm_unplug_all and dm_table_unplug_all were removed without introducing
a clear equivalent).
