Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] PM: Support aborting suspend during filesystem sync

At the start of suspend, filesystems will sync to save the current state
of the device. However, the long tail of the filesystem sync can take
upwards of 25 seconds. If during this filesystem sync there is some
wakeup or abort signal, it will not be processed until the sync is
complete; from a user's perspective, this looks like the device is
unresponsive to any form of input.

This patch adds functionality to handle a suspend abort signal when in
the filesystem sync phase of suspend. This topic was first discussed by
Saravana Kannan at LPC 2024 [1], where the general consensus was to
allow filesystem sync on a parallel thread.
