dm: simplify request based suspend

The semantics of bio-based dm were changed recently in the case of
suspend with "--nolockfs" but without "--noflush".
Before 2.6.30, I/Os submitted before the suspend invocation were always
flushed.  From 2.6.30 onwards, I/Os submitted before the suspend
invocation might not be flushed.  (For details, see
http://marc.info/?t=123994433400003&r=1&w=2)

This patch brings the behaviour of request-based dm into line with
bio-based dm, simplifying the code and preparing for a subsequent patch
that will wait for all in_flight I/Os to complete without stopping
request_queue and use dm_wait_for_completion() for it.

This change in semantics simplifies the suspend code as follows:
  o Suspend is implemented as stopping request_queue
    in request-based dm, and all I/Os are queued in the request_queue
    even after suspend is invoked.
  o In the old semantics, we had to track whether I/Os were
    queued before or after the suspend invocation, so a special
    barrier-like request called 'suspend marker' was introduced.
  o With the new semantics, we don't need to flush any I/O
    so we can remove the marker and the code related to the marker
    handling and I/O flushing.

After removing this codes, the suspend sequence is now:
  1. Flush all I/Os by lock_fs() if needed.
  2. Stop dispatching any I/O by stopping the request_queue.
  3. Wait for all in-flight I/Os to be completed or requeued.
