[RFC][PATCH] PM: Allow wakeup events to abort freezing of tasks

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>
Subject: PM: Allow wakeup events to abort freezing of tasks

If there is a wakeup event during the freezing of tasks, suspend or
hibernation will fail anyway.  Since try_to_freeze_tasks() can take
up to 20 seconds to complete or fail, aborting it as soon as a wakeup
event is detected improves the worst case wakeup latency.

Based on a patch from Arve HjÃnnevÃg.
