This appears to be the right fix (along the lines of what the author may
have intended by having the helper return an int), but as a follow-up
patch, why not move the allocation to probe() instead?

Also this doesn't look like something that requires atomic allocation in
the first place, GFP_KERNEL should do for the legacy suspend callback.
