dm snapshot: only take lock for statustype info not table
Take snapshot lock only for STATUSTYPE_INFO, not STATUSTYPE_TABLE. Commit 4c6fff44 (dm-snapshot-lock-snapshot-while-supplying-status.patch) introduced this use of the lock, but userspace applications using libdevmapper have been found to request STATUSTYPE_TABLE while the device is suspended and the lock is already held, leading to deadlock. Since the lock is not necessary in this case, don't try to take it. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
