Yes.

Two thoughts:

Your commit message states that the next commit triggers the bad behaviour,
but it's not completely true - I had resume lockups even before this commit
hit the tree. Though I don't know what was the problem.

It's a bit sad when ones spends a lot of time on debugging something and
the patch is redone the next day by the maintainer. If you would give me
the feedback on the patch, I would improve it and resend.
