This is removing a _get_sync() and simply relying on a _get() (async)
in msm_gpu_submit().. that seems pretty likely to go badly?  I think
it should probably replace the _get() in msm_gpu_submit() with
_get_sync() (but also since this is changing position of
resume/suspend vs active_lock, please make sure you test with lockdep
enabled)
