This patch exports function dm_suspend_md() which suspend mapped device so other
kernel drivers can use it and could suspend mapped device when needed.

  * Internal suspend/resume works like userspace-driven suspend. It waits

To do this properly you should be introducing a variant of
dm_internal_suspend.  We currently have two variants:
dm_internal_suspend_fast
dm_internal_suspend_noflush

The reason to use a dm_internal_suspend variant is this suspend was
_not_ initiated by an upper level ioctl (from userspace).  It was
done internally from within the target.

You're explicitly using DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG above.. meaning you're
interested in flushing all pending IO (in the FS layered on dm-crupt, if
one exists).

But see the comment in __dm_internal_suspend() about TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
If you're OK with the dm-crypt initiated suspend being
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE then you could just introduce:

void dm_internal_suspend_uninterruptible_flush(struct mapped_device *md)
{
        mutex_lock(&md->suspend_lock);
        __dm_internal_suspend(md, DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG);
        mutex_unlock(&md->suspend_lock);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dm_internal_suspend_uninterruptible_flush);

Otherwise, there is much more extensive DM core changes needed to
__dm_internal_suspend() and .presuspend to properly support
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
