Subject: [PATCH 4.14 29/89] dm integrity: change suspending variable from bool to int

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

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

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit c21b16392701543d61e366dca84e15fe7f0cf0cf upstream.

Early alpha processors can't write a byte or short atomically - they
read 8 bytes, modify the byte or two bytes in registers and write back
8 bytes.

The modification of the variable "suspending" may race with
modification of the variable "failed".  Fix this by changing
"suspending" to an int.
