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.
