Some usb-serial drivers may access port data in their suspend/ resume functions. Such drivers must always verify the validity of the data as both suspend and resume can be called both before usb_serial_device_probe and after usb_serial_device_remove. But the port data may be invalidated during port_probe and port_remove. This patch prevents the race against suspend and resume by disabling suspend while port_probe or port_remove is running.
