This also fixed the issue and looks cleaner.

I originally looked into this. Currently dmp_suspend moves async
devices from the prepared list to the suspended list as they are
queued and I looked at moving this to __device_suspend (after the
checks for async_error and wake_pending) but realized that this would
change normal resume ordering and was afraid that would be too
disruptive.
