I believe this problem was discussed on the mailing list before, and it 
turned out that the issue was caused by a bug in the xhci-hcd driver, 
not a bug in the USB core.

Basically, suspend is _supposed_ to fail if a wakeup event occurs while 
the suspend is in progress.  As I recall, the bug in xhci-hcd was that 
it treats some non-wakeup events as if they were wakeup events.

In particular, a port change on the root hub should be treated as a 
wakeup event if and only if the root hub is enabled for wakeup.  Does 
xhci-hcd check for this before failing the suspend?

This reasoning shows that your proposed fix is incorrect.
