Subject: [PATCH 4.4 146/210] RAID5: check_reshape() shouldnt call mddev_suspend

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shli@...com>

commit 27a353c026a879a1001e5eac4bda75b16262c44a upstream.

check_reshape() is called from raid5d thread. raid5d thread shouldn't
call mddev_suspend(), because mddev_suspend() waits for all IO finish
but IO is handled in raid5d thread, we could easily deadlock here.

This issue is introduced by
738a273 ("md/raid5: fix allocation of 'scribble' array.")
