3.11.10.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel at citrix.com>
commit 1b6478231c6f5f844185acb32045cf195028cfce upstream.
Calling xen_console_resume() in xen_suspend() causes a warning because
it locks irq_mapping_update_lock (a mutex) and this may sleep. If a
userspace process is using the evtchn device then this mutex may be
locked at the point of the stop_machine() call and
xen_console_resume() would then deadlock.
Resuming the console after stop_machine() returns avoids this
deadlock.
