[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-mpath: flush workqueues before suspend completes

Hi Alasdair,

Current dm-mpath target may not be quiet even after suspend completes
because some workqueues (e.g. device_handler's work, event handling)
are not flushed during the suspend sequence, although suspended
devices/targets should be quiet.

This patch lets dm-mpath be quiet during the suspend sequence by
flushing workqueues in postsuspend function.

Note: Even with this patch, multipath_message ioctl can kick such works
      for already-suspended devices/targets.
      Other patches are needed for it.
