this is correct I think, but

^-- is only true for the hibernation path:

nhi_freeze_noirq() -> tb_domain_freeze_noirq() -> tb_freeze_noirq() -> 
hotplug_active = false but nothing else, so tunnels stay in the list

and then on restore:

nhi_resume_noirq() -> tb_domain_resume_noirq() -> tb_resume_noirq() -> 
tb_tunnel_activate() -> tb_dp_activate(true) -> tb_dp_dprx_start() which 
then has no callback and takes the sync path.

while the non-hibernation suspend path ends up in tb_tunnel_deactivate() 
which drops it from tunnel_list and the resume path is fine then I think.
