[PATCH 06/25] dm snapshot: fix metadata writing when suspending

[Alasdair G Kergon]

From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@xxxxxxxxxx>

When suspending a device-mapper device, dm_suspend() sleeps until all
necessary I/O is completed.  This state is triggered by a callback from
persistent_commit().  But some I/O can still be issued *after* the
callback (to prepare the next metadata area for use if the current one is
full).  This patch delays the callback until after that I/O is complete.
