We now know that this patch is broken, because it disables interrupts
for the writeback after a previous commit has enabled them but before
the writeback engine has finished writing, so the better place for
enabling and disabling the SE IRQs is in the malidp_pm_{suspend,resume}
functions, not here.

Only for this patch: NACK.
