That patch unfortunately turned out to cause deadlocks on suspend/resume
on ILK, SNB and IVB in Intel's CI test farm (which I couldn't reproduce
on my IVB machine and therefore couldn't debug). The commit was reverted
upstream with 934458c2c95d.

Therefore please do not apply it to stable kernels. My apologies for the
inconvenience.

Thanks,

Lukas
