Subject: [PATCH 3.11 116/131] PM / hibernate: Fix restore hang in freeze_processes()

3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Capella <sebastian.capella@...aro.org>

commit f8d5b9e9e5372f0deb7bc1ab1088a9b60b0a793d upstream.

During restore, pm_notifier chain are called with
PM_RESTORE_PREPARE.  The firmware_class driver handler
fw_pm_notify does not have a handler for this.  As a result,
it keeps a reader on the kmod.c umhelper_sem.  During
freeze_processes, the call to __usermodehelper_disable tries to
take a write lock on this semaphore and hangs waiting.
