No objections, but a cleanup request:

As far as I can tell, that "SOCKET_SUSPEND" test is totally pointless.
That socket _is_ going to be suspended, and testing for it here just seems
to confuse things.

So I'd remove it from both early_resume and late_resume, and only keep it
in the case of the legacy user-requested suspend/resume (do we even do
that any more?).

The SOCKET_SUSPEND flag itself is still relevant, of course, since the
state change handling will test it (in order to avoid insert/remove
handlign while we have the suspend flag set). It's just that the suspend
code shouldn't _test_ it, since the suspend code is what sets it in the
first place.
