At least I've never heard this technial reason stated so succinctly. It's not in the changelogs or in the Documentation file included. The way I undertand things, today's mainline kernel has a race-free kernel-to-user work handoff already. The possibility of races is introduced by the opportunistic suspend feature itself (patch 1.) The use of suspend blockers later in the series is needed to avoid the potential races introduced by opportunistic suspend.
