[PATCH] md: Support suspending of IO to regions of an md array
This allows user-space to access data safely. This is needed for raid5
reshape as user-space needs to take a backup of the first few stripes before
allowing reshape to commence.
It will also be useful in cluster-aware raid1 configurations so that all
cluster members can leave a section of the array untouched while a
resync/recovery happens.
A 'start' and 'end' of the suspended range are written to 2 sysfs attributes.
Note that only one range can be suspended at a time.
