Ubuntu has CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=y

There are probably lots of other distros that use it as well.

This new behaviour (failed operation of USB flash keys) is a *new* regression
in 2.6.23, and we still have time to fix it by either reverting the changed
functionality, or by changing the code to default OFF.

Here's my patch for 2.6.23-rc6+ :

Fix USB Storage failures.
