Unfortunately I overlooked the fact that this patch would break the error paths
and test modes where we also have to allow EC transactions to happen again
after they've been "suspended".  Sorry about that.

Updated patch follows.

Subject: ACPI / EC: Remove race between EC driver and suspend process (rev. 3)

There is a race between the suspend process and the EC driver that
may result in suspending in the middle of an EC transaction in
progress, which in turn may lead to unpredictable behavior of the
platform.

To remove that race condition, add a helpers for suspending and
resuming EC transactions in a safe way to be executed by the ACPI
platform suspend/hibernate callbacks.  Modify these callbacks so
that the EC transactions are suspended right after executing the
_PTS global control method and are allowed to happen right after
the low-level wake-up.
