SubjectRe: Calling suspend() in halt/restart/shutdown -> not a good idea

Well, powerdown at the end of suspend-to-disk should be *very* similar
to normal powerdown => if device_suspend() breaks something, it is a
bug in driver anyway.

Now, we may have a lot of such bugs, and the change went in too early,
but in the long run...
