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

This reverts commit 85fbd722ad.

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.

/*
* 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.
