Sorry, no joy. The first access post-resume still fails and generates:

floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 8
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 1
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 16
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 2
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 24
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 3
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 32
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 4
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 40
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 5
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 48
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 6
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 56
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 7
floppy0: disk absent or changed during operation
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0

The 2nd etc post-resume accesses work like before.

Your patch did change the failure behaviour slightly.
Previously the first post-resume access would experience
a delay of about a second or so, and then report an error.
With this patch the error is immediate.
