OK, so perhaps we need to move _SUSPEND/_RESUME out of there to start with?

As far as I can say, clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_SUSPEND, NULL) and
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_RESUME, NULL) are each only called from
one place and moreover, since they are in syscore_ops, we don't need any
locking around them.

So what about the patch below?
