Subject: [PATCH v3] PM / Sleep: Use workqueue for user space wakeup sources garbage collector

From: "cleaeye.kim" <cleaneye.kim@....com>

The synchronous synchronize_rcu in wakeup_source_remove makes user process
which writes to /sys/kernel/wake_unlock blocked sometimes.

For example, when android eventhub tries to release wakelock,
this blocking process can occur, and eventhub can't get input event
for a while.

Using workqueue instead of direct function call at pm_wake_unlock
can prevent this unnecessary delay of an user space process.
