3.8.13.20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sebastian Capella <sebastian.capella at linaro.org>
commit f8d5b9e9e5372f0deb7bc1ab1088a9b60b0a793d upstream.
During restore, pm_notifier chain are called with
PM_RESTORE_PREPARE. The firmware_class driver handler
fw_pm_notify does not have a handler for this. As a result,
it keeps a reader on the kmod.c umhelper_sem. During
freeze_processes, the call to __usermodehelper_disable tries to
take a write lock on this semaphore and hangs waiting.
