dm: don't lock fs when the map is NULL in process of resume

commit 38d11da upstream.

Commit fa24708 ("dm: requeue IO if mapping table not yet available")
added a detection of whether the mapping table is available in the IO
submission process. If the mapping table is unavailable, it returns
BLK_STS_RESOURCE and requeues the IO.
This can lead to the following deadlock problem:

dm create                                      mount
ioctl(DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD)
ioctl(DM_TABLE_LOAD_CMD)
                               do_mount
                                vfs_get_tree
                                 ext4_get_tree
                                  get_tree_bdev
                                   sget_fc
                                    alloc_super
                                     // got &s->s_umount
                                     down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, ...);
                                   ext4_fill_super
                                    ext4_load_super
                                     ext4_read_bh
                                      submit_bio
                                      // submit and wait io end
ioctl(DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD)
dev_suspend
 do_resume
  dm_suspend
   __dm_suspend
    lock_fs
     freeze_bdev
      get_active_super
       grab_super
        // wait for &s->s_umount
        down_write(&s->s_umount);
  dm_swap_table
   __bind
    // set md->map(can't get here)

IO will be continuously requeued while holding the lock since mapping
table is NULL. At the same time, mapping table won't be set since the
lock is not available.
Like request-based DM, bio-based DM also has the same problem.

It's not proper to just abort IO if the mapping table not available.
So clear DM_SKIP_LOCKFS_FLAG when the mapping table is NULL, this
allows the DM table to be loaded and the IO submitted upon resume.
