Subject: [PATCH] pm/sleep: Add PM_USERSPACE_AUTOSLEEP Kconfig

Systems that initiate frequent suspend/resume from userspace
can make the kernel aware by enabling PM_USERSPACE_AUTOSLEEP
config.

This allows for certain sleep-sensitive code (wireguard/rng) to
decide on what preparatory work should be performed (or not) in
their pm_notification callbacks.

This patch was prompted by the discussion at [1] which attempts
to remove CONFIG_ANDROID that currently guards these code paths.
