[PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Avoid possible suspension deadlock
To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have
failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling
freeze_bdev instead of after.
Instead of setting a multipath 'suspended' flag which would have to be reset
if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and
leave userspace to restore if it wishes.
