Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] PM: hibernate: add sysfs interface for hibernate_compression_threads

Add a sysfs attribute `/sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads` to
allow runtime configuration of the number of threads used for
compressing and decompressing hibernation images.

The new sysfs interface enables dynamic adjustment at runtime:

    # cat /sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads
    3
    # echo 4 > /sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads

This change provides greater flexibility for debugging and performance
tuning of hibernation without requiring a reboot.
