Freezing failure is a totally different problem. Freezing happens much
before CPUs are taken offline and even before devices are suspended.
But yes, if freezing fails, suspend fails too (it is aborted rather).
And freezing failures are typically a bit harder to trigger since they
occur due to some race conditions. But the suspend failure problem
discussed earlier in this thread (while discussing the MCE warnings) is a
deterministic thing and very easily reproducible.
