Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] alarmtimer: Create sysfs to make alarm check window configurable

Currently, the alarmtimer_suspend does not allow the kernel
to suspend if the next alarm is within 2 seconds. Instead, a configurable
value for the window to check the next pending alarm allows developers
to change the value according to their specific device and use case.
As an example, on Android devices if the value is changed to the short
suspend threshold used in Android's SuspendControlService, it is expected
to lower power consumption during kernel suspend.

The value to be configured needs to be found experimentally based on the
device and use case. The current value of 2 seconds will continue to be
used as the default if no changes are made. If the value is configured to
be very small, there may be a pending alarm that would wake the system up
right after the successful kernel suspend, which would devalue the
benefits of having the check. If the value is configured to be very large,
the kernel suspend would be aborted regularly which would cause to lose
the benefits of kernel suspension in general. Therefore, the value
should not lean too much in either direction.

To facilitate this, create alarmtimer sysfs to make the value of
2 seconds configurable.
