drbd: fix a race between start_resync and send_and_submit
In the drbd make request function, specifically in drbd_send_and_submit(), we decide whether we want to send the actual write request, or only a "set this block out of sync" information. We do so based on the current connection state, while holding the req_lock. The connection state is not supposed to change while holding the req_lock. But in drbd_start_resync, we did change that state anyways, while only holding the global_state_lock, which is enough to change sync-after dependencies (paused vs active resync), but not good enough to change the connection state. Fix: in drbd_start_resync, first grab the req_lock to serialize with drbd_send_and_submit(), before grabbing the global_state_lock to be able to evaluate the sync-after dependencies.
