    Subject[PATCH V3] suspend: enable freeze timeout configuration through sys
    From
    Date

    At present, the value of timeout for freezing is 20s, which is
    meaningless in case that one thread is frozen with mutex locked
    and another thread is trying to lock the mutex, as this time of
    freezing will fail unavoidably.
    And if there is no new wakeup event registered, the system will
    waste at most 20s for such meaningless trying of freezing.

    With this patch, the value of timeout can be configured to smaller
    value, so such meaningless trying of freezing will be aborted in
    earlier time, and later freezing can be also triggered in earlier
    time. And more power will be saved.
    In normal case on mobile phone, it costs real little time to freeze
    processes. On some platform, it only costs about 20ms to freeze
    user space processes and 10ms to freeze kernel freezable threads.

    So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using
    mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures.
