Title:
  kworker thread consuming 99.8 - 100% CPU after update

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating today (hadn't updated for a while), my fan won't stop
  and top is showing:

    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
      4 root      20   0     0    0    0 R 100,2  0,0  36:42.35 kworker/0:0

  Edit: seems related to bug 1214071. I can reproduce with:

  1) Start with a fresh reboot
  2) suspend and resume

  At this point after the successful resume, kworker thread starts
  consuming 100% cpu and I can no longer suspend (bug 1214071).
