Subject: [PATCH] Fix the deadlock in uevent_buffer_pm_notify

From: "Liu, XinwuX" <xinwux.liu@...el.com>

When suspend finish uevent_buffer_pm_notify will traverse buffer_list
and clean up some kobj that refcount equals zero, it will trigger
kobject_event and get uevent_buffer_mutex again. That will cause deadlock.

Workqueue: auto_suspend try_to_suspend
