Subject: [PATCH] swsusp: Fix userland interface

[2.6.22 candidate, IMHO]
---
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

Fix oops caused by 'cat /dev/snapshot', reported by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz, and
make it impossible to thaw tasks with the help of the swsusp userland interface
while there is a snapshot image ready to save.
