There is a change in here that is more than just a refactoring.

You have moved the wait_barrier() call from after the checks on
->suspend_{lo,hi} to before.
If a write was sent to a suspended region, this will block any pending
resync until the suspended region is moved.
The previous code won't block resync in this case.

I cannot see that this would actually have any practical significance,
as I don't think the suspend_hi/lo settings are used at all for raid1.
I'm less certain about the ->area_resyncing() test, though that probably
isn't a problem.

But it should at least be noted in the change-log that there is
potentially a functional change here.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
