Revert "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is f…

…rozen" This reverts commit 85fbd72. The commit was added as a quick band-aid for a hang that happened when a block device was removed during system suspend. Now that bdi_wq is not freezable anymore the hang should not be possible and we can get rid of this hack by reverting it. Acked-by: Rafael J.

-	 * XXX - UGLY HACK
-	 *
-	 * The block layer suspend/resume path is fundamentally broken due
-	 * to freezable kthreads and workqueue and may deadlock if a block
-	 * device gets removed while resume is in progress.  I don't know
-	 * what the solution is short of removing freezable kthreads and
-	 * workqueues altogether.

-	 * The following is an ugly hack to avoid kicking off device
-	 * removal while freezer is active.  This is a joke but does avoid
-	 * this particular deadlock scenario.
