Subject: [RFC PATCH V2] PM/CPU: Parallel enalbing nonboot cpus with resume devices

In the current world, all nonboot cpus are enabled serially during system
resume. System resume sequence is that boot cpu enables nonboot cpu one by
one and then resume devices. Before resuming devices, there are few tasks
assigned to nonboot cpus after they are brought up. This waste cpu usage.

To accelerate S3, this patches allows boot cpu to go forward to resume
devices after bringing up one nonboot cpu. The nonboot cpu will be in
charge of bringing up other cpus. This makes enabling cpu2~x parallel
with resuming devices.

Change since V1:
	Remove PM_PARALLEL_CPU_UP_FOR_SUSPEND kernel config and make
paralleling cpu as default behaviour. Add error handling for 
failure of the first frozen cpu online.

So far, I just tested the patch on the Intel machines. It's better
to test it on the others Arch platforms. Appreciate a lot if some
one can help test it.
