This is true only if the device is autosuspended. But sr_resume()
will also be called if the whole system was suspended.
What happens if the user presses the door button on the drive
while the system was suspended?

Suppose you need to wake up two devices for the same reason, a ZPODD and a hard
drive. The ZPODD is woken first and sr_resume() requests memory with GFP_KERNEL.
The VM layer decides to page out to the hard drive to be woken up -> deadlock.
