On suspend/resume tx skb's are processed after tasklet_enable()
in resume callback. There is issue with device removal though
(during suspend or otherwise).

If tasklet is scheduled and we disable it and never enable, we end up
with infinite loop in tasklet_action_common(). This patch make the
problem less reproducible since tasklet_disable() is moved after
usb_kill_urb() -> tasklet_schedule(), but it is still possible.

I comprehansive have fix for that, but giving it more testing.
Please drop this patch.
