[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.
