md: change the return value type of md_write_start to void

Commit cc27b0c ("md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and
md_write_start()") aborted md_write_start() with false when mddev is
suspended, which fixed a deadlock if calling mddev_suspend() with
holding reconfig_mutex(). Since mddev_suspend() now includes
lockdep_assert_not_held(), it no longer holds the reconfig_mutex. This
makes previous abort unnecessary. Now, remove unnecessary abort and
change function return value to void.
