dm: simplify request based suspend
The semantics of bio-based dm were changed recently in the case of
suspend with "--nolockfs" but without "--noflush".
Before 2.6.30, I/Os submitted before the suspend invocation were always
flushed. From 2.6.30 onwards, I/Os submitted before the suspend
invocation might not be flushed. (For details, see
http://marc.info/?t=123994433400003&r=1&w=2)
This patch brings the behaviour of request-based dm into line with
bio-based dm, simplifying the code and preparing for a subsequent patch
that will wait for all in_flight I/Os to complete without stopping
request_queue and use dm_wait_for_completion() for it.
This change in semantics simplifies the suspend code as follows:
o Suspend is implemented as stopping request_queue
in request-based dm, and all I/Os are queued in the request_queue
even after suspend is invoked.
o In the old semantics, we had to track whether I/Os were
queued before or after the suspend invocation, so a special
barrier-like request called 'suspend marker' was introduced.
o With the new semantics, we don't need to flush any I/O
so we can remove the marker and the code related to the marker
handling and I/O flushing.
After removing this codes, the suspend sequence is now:
1. Flush all I/Os by lock_fs() if needed.
2. Stop dispatching any I/O by stopping the request_queue.
3. Wait for all in-flight I/Os to be completed or requeued.

- *
- * Flush suspend
- * -------------
- * Flush suspend needs to dispatch remaining requests. So stop the queue
- * after the remaining requests are completed. (Requeued request must be also
- * re-dispatched and completed. Until then, we can't stop the queue.)
- *
- * During flushing the remaining requests, further incoming requests are also
- * inserted to the same queue. To distinguish which requests are to be
- * flushed, we insert a marker request to the queue at the time of starting
- * flush suspend, like a barrier.
- * The dispatching is blocked when the marker is found on the top of the queue.
- * And the queue is stopped when all in_flight requests are completed, since
- * that means the remaining requests are completely flushed.
- * Then, the marker is removed from the queue.
- *
- * To abort flush suspend, we also need to take care of the marker, not only
- * starting the queue.
- * We don't remove the marker forcibly from the queue since it's against
- * the block-layer manner. Instead, we put a invalidated mark on the marker.
- * When the invalidated marker is found on the top of the queue, it is
- * immediately removed from the queue, so it doesn't block dispatching.
- * Because we have only one marker per mapped_device, we can't start another
- * flush suspend until the invalidated marker is removed from the queue.
- * So fail and return with -EBUSY in such a case.
+ * To abort suspend, start the request_queue.
