The raid5-cache code relies on there being no IO in flight when
log_exit() is called. There are two places where this is not
guaranteed so add mddev_suspend() and mddev_resume() calls to these
sites.

The site in raid5_remove_disk() has a comment saying that it is
called in raid5d and thus cannot wait for pending writes; however that
does not appear to be correct anymore (if it ever was) as
raid5_remove_disk() is called from hot_remove_disk() which only
appears to be called in the md_ioctl(). Thus, the comment is removed,
as well as the racy check and replaced with calls to suspend/resume.

The site in raid5_change_consistency_policy() is in the error path,
and another similar call site already has suspend/resume calls just
below it; so it should be equally safe to make that change here.

Unfortunately, the comment about deadlock is still true, and we cannot call
mddev_suspend here. To trigger it:

   # create raid5 with journal:
   mdadm --create /dev/md0  -l 5 -n 3 /dev/nvme[0-2]n1 --write-journal
/dev/nvme3n1
   # start some writes
   fio ...
   # fail the journal
   mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/nvme3n1

This will cause deadlock of the thread:
[<0>] raid5_quiesce+0x2a8/0x5f0
[<0>] mddev_suspend+0x26b/0x530
[<0>] raid5_remove_disk+0x12e/0x6f3

Ah, yes. What a tangle. I think we can just drop this patch. Now that we
are removing RCU it isn't actually necessary to fix the bug I was
seeing. It's still probably broken as the comment notes though.

How about we keep the suspend/resume in raid5_change_consistency_policy()?
Like the one I just pushed to md-next:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/md.git/commit/?h=md-next&id=ac1506992459fe45a085c1f93df74d51c381887b

I'm good with that. Thanks.

I'll do some testing on md-next shortly.
