2.6.22-rc1: Broken suspend on SMP with tifm

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

The suspend/hibernation is broken on SMP due to:

commit 3540af8ffddcdbc7573451ac0b5cd57a2eaf8af5
tifm: replace per-adapter kthread with freezeable workqueue

Well, it looks like freezable worqueues still deadlock with CPU hotplug
when worker threads are frozen.

The appended patch fixes the issue, but I think we could even avoid the
killing of frozen worker threads.

Greetings,
Rafael

Prevent freezable worqueues from deadlocking with CPU hotplug during a
suspend/hibernation by thawing their worker threads before they get stopped.
