Subject: [PATCH 3.18 53/90] dm: remove duplicate dm_get_live_table() in __dm_destroy()

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

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

From: Corey Wright <undefined@...ox.com>

[3.18.y only, to fix a previous patch]

__dm_destroy() takes io_barrier SRCU lock (dm_get_live_table) twice
which leads to a deadlock.  Remove taking lock before holding
suspend_lock to prevent a different potential deadlock.
