There could be a scenario, where request_firmware() call results in
user land process trying to load firmwares into memory and
parallely one miscellaneous process is trying to invoke manual
suspend and due to which user mode helper gets disabled during
freezing of processes and that aborts loading of firmware even
though request_firmware() thread has taken wakelock.
Although, we are checking for any wakeup event inside
try_to_freeze_tasks() but that could be too late for the
above scenario.
Let's add a check before freezing/disable user land process in
suspend path.

If a laptop lid is closed and the system is expected to suspend, it
must suspend.
This takes precedence over the loading of firmware. Sorry.
