Potential problem with USB_THREAD_SUSPEND()?

Hi,

USB_THREAD_SUSPEND(p) is defined as {kproc|kthread}_suspend(p, 0).  This means
that it will wait until the corresponding thread recognizes its suspend request
and suspends itself.  It seems that {kproc|kthread}_suspend_check() will be
used nowhere in the USB system.  Thus the USB_THREAD_SUSPEND() will block
forever in most cases? It is only used in usb_proc_drain() during cold boot.

Have a nice day!
