md: wake raid456 reshape waiters before suspend
During raid456 reshape, direct IO across the reshape position can sleep
in raid5_make_request() waiting for reshape progress while still
holding an active_io reference. If userspace then freezes reshape and
writes md/suspend_lo or md/suspend_hi, mddev_suspend() kills active_io
and waits for all in-flight IO to drain.
This can deadlock: the IO needs reshape progress to continue, but the
reshape thread is already frozen, so the active_io reference is never
dropped and suspend never completes.
raid5_prepare_suspend() already wakes wait_for_reshape for dm-raid. Do
the same for normal md suspend when reshape is already interrupted, so
waiting raid456 IO can abort, drop its reference, and let suspend
finish.
The mdadm test tests/25raid456-reshape-deadlock reproduces the hang.
