PM: introduce hibernation and suspend notifiers Make it possible to register hibernation and suspend notifiers, so that subsystems can perform hibernation-related or suspend-related operations that should not be carried out by device drivers' .suspend() and .resume() routines.

Suspend notifiers
PM: Allow drivers to allocate memory from .prepare() callbacks safely If device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory (above 1 MB) in their hibernate .freeze() callbacks (or in their legacy suspend callbcks during hibernation), the subsequent creation of hibernate image may fail due to the lack of memory. This is the case, because the drivers' .freeze() callbacks are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has been carried out and the preallocated amount of memory may be too small to cover the new driver allocations. Unfortunately, the drivers' .prepare() callbacks also are executed after the hibernate memory preallocation has completed, so they are not suitable for allocating additional memory either. Thus the only way a driver can safely allocate memory during hibernation is to use a hibernate/suspend notifier. However, the notifiers are called before the freezing of user space and the drivers wanting to use them for allocating additional memory may not know how much memory needs to be allocated at that point. To let device drivers overcome this difficulty rework the hibernation sequence so that the memory preallocation is carried out after the drivers' .prepare() callbacks have been executed, so that the .prepare() callbacks can be used for allocating additional memory to be used by the drivers' .freeze() callbacks. Update documentation to match the new behavior of the code. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

There are some operations that subsystems or drivers may want to carry out
before hibernation/suspend or after restore/resume, but they require the system
to be fully functional, so the drivers' and subsystems' .suspend() and .resume()
or even .prepare() and .complete() callbacks are not suitable for this purpose.
For example, device drivers may want to upload firmware to their devices after
resume/restore, but they cannot do it by calling request_firmware() from their
.resume() or .complete() routines (user land processes are frozen at these
points). The solution may be to load the firmware into memory before processes
are frozen and upload it from there in the .resume() routine.
A suspend/hibernation notifier may be used for this purpose.
The subsystems or drivers having such needs can register suspend notifiers that
will be called upon the following events by the PM core:

It is generally assumed that whatever the notifiers do for
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, should be undone for PM_POST_HIBERNATION. Analogously,
operations performed for PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE should be reversed for
PM_POST_SUSPEND. Additionally, all of the notifiers are called for
PM_POST_HIBERNATION if one of them fails for PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, and
all of the notifiers are called for PM_POST_SUSPEND if one of them fails for
PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE.
The hibernation and suspend notifiers are called with pm_mutex held. They are
defined in the usual way, but their last argument is meaningless (it is always
NULL). To register and/or unregister a suspend notifier use the functions
register_pm_notifier() and unregister_pm_notifier(), respectively, defined in
include/linux/suspend.h . If you don't need to unregister the notifier, you can
also use the pm_notifier() macro defined in include/linux/suspend.h .
