3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Corey Wright undefined@pobox.com
[3.18.y only, to fix a previous patch]
__dm_destroy() takes io_barrier SRCU lock (dm_get_live_table) twice which leads to a deadlock. Remove taking lock before holding suspend_lock to prevent a different potential deadlock.
