Regardless of if the UDEV is suspended first, or the USB backend, as long as we ensure that the offloading is disabled before entering suspend, I think that should be sufficient.

Note that, for USB audio, there is no much difference between resume()
and reset_resume(), especially about the PCM stream handling that is
the main target for the offload (the mixer isn't handled there).
And for the PCM, we just set the power state for UAC3, and that's
all.  All the rest is handled by the PCM core handler as usual.
