Subject: [PATCH][v2] PM / Hibernate: Feed the wathdog when creating snapshot

There is a problem that when counting the pages for creating
the hibernation snapshot will take significant amount of
time, especially on system with large memory. Since the counting
job is performed with irq disabled, this might lead to NMI lockup.
The following warning were found on a system with 1.5TB DRAM:

[ 1144.690405] done (allocated 6590003 pages)
[ 1144.694971] PM: Allocated 26360012 kbytes in 19.89 seconds (1325.28 MB/s)

It has taken nearly 20 seconds(2.10GHz CPU) thus the NMI lockup
was triggered. In case the timeout of the NMI watch dog has been
set to 1 second, a safe interval should be 6590003/20 = 320k pages
in theory. However there might also be some platforms running at a
lower frequency, so feed the watchdog every 128k pages(per Andrew's
suggestion, this should avoid the modulus operation).
