I think the thing to do is to revert the patch from -stable. The bug it fixes is very minor, and the regression is that it made a pre-existing bug in some nearly-undebuggable core resume code much easier to hit. I don't feel comfortable with a backport of the latter fix until it has a good long soak in Linus' tree.
