    md: allow metadata updates while suspending an array - fix · 059421e0

    Commit 35bfc521 ("md: allow metadata update while suspending.")
    added support for allowing md_check_recovery() to still perform
    metadata updates while the array is entering the 'suspended' state.
    This is needed to allow the processes of entering the state to
    complete.
    
    Unfortunately, the patch doesn't really work.  The test for
    "mddev->suspended" at the start of md_check_recovery() means that the
    function doesn't try to do anything at all while entering suspend.
    
    This patch moves the code of updating the metadata while suspending to
    *before* the test on mddev->suspended.
