Initializing the hold list in do_mirror() is a problem. Some bios might
already in it and they will never be processed. This makes device-mapper
"stuck" when the device goes suspend. The hold list should be inizialized
only when the mirror device is created in alloc_context().

alloc_context()
        spin_lock_init(&ms->lock);
        bio_list_init(&ms->reads);
        bio_list_init(&ms->writes);
        bio_list_init(&ms->failures);
+        bio_list_init(&ms->hold);

Thanks,
