PM / sleep: Fix request_firmware() error at resume
The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790 The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume and the clear of usermodehelper lock. The request_firmware() function checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state. This is for avoiding the invalid f/w loading during suspend/resume phase. The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the end of thaw_processes(). Thus, a thawed process in between can kick off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel()) even before the call of usermodehelper_enable(). Then usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware() spews WARN_ON() in the end. This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function instead of returning an error.
