  - wifi: iwlegacy: Clear stale interrupts before resuming device iwl4965 fails upon resume from hibernation     on my laptop. The reason seems to be a stale interrupt which isn't being cleared out before interrupts are     enabled. We end up with a race beween the resume trying to bring things back up, and the restart work     (queued form the interrupt handler) trying to bring things down. Eventually the whole thing blows up. Fix     the problem by clearing out any stale interrupts before interrupts get enabled during resume.
