Subject: [PATCH][RFC v5] 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, and we have fixed it
in recent kernel. However 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,
   or
2. rtc is used to calculate the sleep time in rtc_resume.
