Please note that the card is removed only on -ENOSYS, which is not a
random error that can happen. In this context, it's a deliberate
request (from the underlying bus) to remove the card.

So even if mmc_{sd_}suspend will be changed to propagate an error code
one day, it is unlikely that they will trigger this bug even if they
fail.

Feel free to send a patch ;)
