Ensure that the exception event handling work is explicitly flushed

UFS_PM_LVL_0.

When the RPM level is zero, the device power mode and link state both
remain active. Previously, the UFS core driver bypassed flushing
exception event handling jobs in this configuration. This created a race
condition where the driver could attempt to access the host controller
to handle an exception after the system had already entered a deep
power-down state, resulting in a system crash.

Explicitly flush this work and disable auto BKOPs before the suspend
callback proceeds. This guarantees that pending exception tasks complete
and prevents illegal hardware access during the power-down sequence.
