Subject: [PATCH V2] suspend: enable freeze timeout configuration through sys


At present, the timeout value for freezing tasks is fixed as 20s,
which is too long for handheld device usage, especially for mobile
phone.

In order to improve user experience, we enable freeze timeout
configuration through sys, so that we can tune the value easily
for concrete usage, such as smaller value for handheld device such
as mobile phone.

@@ -223,3 +223,8 @@ since they ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is anyway
 only after the entire suspend/hibernation sequence is complete.
 So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using
 mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures.

+/sys/power/pm_freeze_timeout controls how long it will cost at most to freeze
+all user space processes or all freezable kernel threads, in unit of millisecond.
+The default value is 20000, with range of unsigned integer.
