Please combine the two logical tests with "&&" instead of nesting two
if-statements inside each other.

I think this patch introduces a new race condition, namely the following:
- ufshcd_slave_destroy() tests pm_op_in_progress and reads the value
  zero from that variable.
- ufshcd_suspend() sets hba->pm_op_in_progress to one.
- ufshcd_slave_destroy() calls schedule_work().

How about fixing this race condition by calling
pm_runtime_get_noresume() before checking pm_op_in_progress and by
reallowing resume if no work is scheduled?

Thanks,

Bart.
