Subject: [PATCH 4.14 35/61] md: dont call bitmap_create() while array is quiesced.

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

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

From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.com>

commit 52a0d49de3d592a3118e13f35985e3d99eaf43df upstream.

bitmap_create() allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL and
so can wait for IO.
If called while the array is quiesced, it could wait indefinitely
for write out to the array - deadlock.
So call bitmap_create() before quiescing the array.
