Subject: [PATCH] mm: khugepaged: make scan loops suspend aware

A number of khugepaaged's loops, e.g. khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(),
are time unbound, which can become problematic during system
suspend:

PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Filesystems sync: 0.003 seconds
Freezing user space processes
Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.003 seconds)
OOM killer disabled.
Freezing remaining freezable tasks
Freezing remaining freezable tasks failed after 20.004 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):
task:khugepaged      state:D stack:0     pid:1345  ppid:2      flags:0x00004000

 </TASK>

Make hpage_collapse_test_exit_or_disable() suspend aware so
that khugepaaged's scan loops can terminate in a timely manner
and let system enter the sleep state.
