2 stable fixes for dm-cache and 1 3.19 DM core fix:
- Fix potential for dm-cache metadata corruption via stale metadata
buffers being used when switching an inactive cache table to active;
this could occur due to each table having it's own bufio client rather
than sharing the client between tables.
- Fix dm-cache target to properly account for discard IO while
suspending otherwise IO quiescing could complete prematurely.
- Fix DM core's handling of multiple internal suspends by maintaining an
'internal_suspend_count' and only resuming the device when this count
drops to zero.
dm: fix handling of multiple internal suspends
Commit ffcc393641 ("dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface")
attempted to handle multiple internal suspends on the same device, but
it did that incorrectly. When these functions are called in this order
on the same device the device is no longer suspended, but it should be:
dm_internal_suspend_noflush
dm_internal_suspend_noflush
dm_internal_resume
Fix this bug by maintaining an 'internal_suspend_count' and resuming
the device when this count drops to zero.
