Subject: [PATCH] PM / Suspend: Avoid soft lockup warning with suspend_test

When testing with a large (>= 22 seconds) pm_test_delay we can see the
NMI soft lockup barfing at us because a task has been blocked for too
long. This can be reproduced with:

	echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
	echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay

Unroll the loop and touch the NMI watchdog every 1s to avoid the lockup
warnings.
