I think I would prefer investigating into the suspend/resume approach 
for a moment.

What we can do rather easily is to use mod_delayed_work() with a larger 
timeout, e.g. like the following:

void drm_sched_suspend_timeout()
{
     mod_delayed_work(&sched->work_tdr, sched->timeout * 10);
}

void drm_sched_resume_timeout()
{
     mod_delayed_work(&sched->work_tdr, sched->timeout);
}

By looking at work_tdr.timer.expires before modifying it 
drm_sched_suspend_timeout() could also return the remaining jiffies to wait.

This way we wouldn't need to restart the timeout completely on every resume.

Regards,
Christian.
