This patch (as881b) makes the ksuspend_usb_wq workqueue freezable. We
don't want a rogue workqueue thread running around, unexpectedly
suspending or resuming USB devices in the middle of a system sleep
transition.
This fixes Bugzilla #8498.

Greg:
Please revert the existing
usb-make-the-autosuspend-workqueue-thread-freezable.patch
and apply this one in its place. And don't forget to send it on to
Linus soon!
