[PATCH] swsusp: debugging

Add a swsusp debugging mode.  This does everything that's needed for a suspend
except for actually suspending.  So we can look in the log messages and work
out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving.

(1)
# echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state

This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5
seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU.

(2)
# echo test > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state

This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink
memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc.

Additionally, /sys/power/disk can be used to turn on one of the
two testing modes of the suspend-to-disk mechanism: 'testproc'
or 'test'. If the suspend-to-disk mechanism is in the
'testproc' mode, writing 'disk' to /sys/power/state will cause
the kernel to disable nonboot CPUs and freeze tasks, wait for 5
seconds, unfreeze tasks and enable nonboot CPUs. If it is in
the 'test' mode, writing 'disk' to /sys/power/state will cause
the kernel to disable nonboot CPUs and freeze tasks, shrink
memory, suspend devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume devices,
unfreeze tasks and enable nonboot CPUs. Then, we are able to
look in the log messages and work out, for example, which code
is being slow and which device drivers are misbehaving.
