Hi Kuai

After applying this patch, it's still stuck at mddev_suspend. Maybe
the deadlock can be fixed by other patches from the patch set. But
this patch can't fix this issue. If so, the comment is not right.

I add some debug logs when stopping dmraid with lvremove command. The
step you mentioned are sequential but not async. The process is :
dev_remove->dm_destroy->__dm_destroy->dm_table_postsuspend_targets(raid_postsuspend)
-> dm_table_destroy(raid_dtr). It looks like mddev_suspend is waiting
for active_io to be zero.
