Does this crash with just the function graph tracer, or does the
function tracer show the same issue? If it is just the function graph
tracer, lets not cripple function tracing because of it.

Just call pause_graph_tracing() before the suspend code, and
unpause_graph_tracing() when returning.

This will also help keep you from playing whack-a-mole, when there are
other functions that have this issue.
