[PATCH] suspend regression: sysfs deadlock
Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0. This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7 "Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()". sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.
