Subject: [PATCH] thermal: Use freezable workqueue

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

If thermal polling is enabled, which for example is the case for
ACPI thermal zones with the _TZP object defined, the thermal driver
uses delayed work items for this purpose.  Unfortunately, since
they are queued up using schedule_delayed_work(), the work function
may be executed during system suspend or resume, which is not
desirable.

To prevent that from happening, use a freezable workqueue for
queuing up delayed work items in the thermal driver.
