Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] PM: Support aborting suspend during filesystem sync

This series adds functionality to handle a wakeup event 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.

1/3: Moves pm_wakeup_clear() to be with similar functions that do the
     prerequisite bookkeeping prior to suspend_prepare(), making the intent
     of the function clearer. Additionally, this sets up patch2 in the
     series, which requires pm_wakeup_clear() to be called before abort
     functionality during suspend can be enabled.
2/3: Add support for abort during filesystem sync phase of suspend. This
     requires detecting a wakeup event or a filesystem sync finishing,
     whichever comes first.
3/3: Adding onto abort during filesystem sync, handle cases of back-to-back
     suspends and their respective filesystem syncs. Extra care is needed
     to ensure filesystem syncs happen serially while still honoring
     wakeup events that lead to early aborts.
