xen: use freeze/restore/thaw PM events for suspend/resume/chkpt

Browse source

Use PM_FREEZE, PM_THAW and PM_RESTORE power events for
suspend/resume/checkpoint functionality, instead of PM_SUSPEND
and PM_RESUME. Use of these pm events fixes the Xen Guest hangup
when taking checkpoints. When a suspend event is cancelled
(while taking checkpoints once/continuously), we use PM_THAW
instead of PM_RESUME. PM_RESTORE is used when suspend is not
cancelled. See Documentation/power/devices.txt and linux/pm.h
for more info about freeze, thaw and restore. The sequence of
pm events in a suspend-resume scenario is shown below.

        dpm_suspend_start(PMSG_FREEZE);

                dpm_suspend_noirq(PMSG_FREEZE);

                       sysdev_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE);
                       cancelled = suspend_hypercall()
                       sysdev_resume();

               dpm_resume_noirq(cancelled ? PMSG_THAW : PMSG_RESTORE);

       dpm_resume_end(cancelled ? PMSG_THAW : PMSG_RESTORE);
