Subject: [PATCH][RFC v4] timekeeping: ignore the bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to
the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is
triggered when pm_trace is enabled, please refer to:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9286365/
It's improper in the first place to call __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime()
in case that pm_trace is enabled simply because that "hash" time value
will wreckage the timekeeping subsystem.

So this patch ignores the sleep time if pm_trace is enabled in
the following situation:
1. rtc is used as persist clock to compensate for sleep time,
   (because system does not have a nonstop clocksource) or
2. rtc is used to calculate the sleep time in rtc_resume.
