From: Yu Kuai <redacted>

'active_io' used to be initialized while the array is running, and
'mddev->pers' is set while the array is running as well. Hence caller
must hold 'reconfig_mutex' and guarantee 'mddev->pers' is set before
calling mddev_suspend().

Now that 'active_io' is initialized when mddev is allocated, such
restriction doesn't exist anymore. In the meantime, follow up patches
will refactor mddev_suspend(), hence add checking for 'mddev->pers' to
prevent null-ptr-deref.
