I yanked them both, as they appeared to be releated based on the titles.
Reverting this pair of commits fixes the USB suspend/resume regression.

Okay, just to make it trivial,
I've narrowed it down to only this commit from Alan Stern:

7ed92f1a149dddc3cb537ccd7441e98adac12c3e USB: make the autosuspend workqueue thread freezable

Subject: USB: make the autosuspend workqueue thread freezable

USB: make the autosuspend workqueue thread freezable

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.
