Subject: [RFC 2/3] PM / Hibernate : do not count debug pages as savable

When debugging memory corruption with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
corrupt_dbg > 0, we have lot of free pages that are not marked so.
Snapshot code account them as savable, what cause hibernate memory
preallocation failure.

It is pretty hard to make hibernate allocation succeed with
corrupt_dbg=1. This change at least make it possible when system has
relatively big amount of RAM.
