Actaully, they do belong to it.  This is the part "fixing" the hibernation code
path, in which the disk is also powered off unnecessarily.

Well, probably I should use SYSTEM_HIBERNATE_ENTER or something similar
instead of SYSTEM_SUSPEND_DISK.

In short, the idea is to change system_state to something specific to the last
phase of hibernation (after saving the image) and check that in
ata_scsi_start_stop_xlat().  In fact that's completely analogous to what's done
for SYSTEM_POWER_OFF in there.
