[PATCH] swsusp: make image size limit tunable

Make the suspend image size limit tunable via /sys/power/image_size.

It is necessary for systems on which there is a limited amount of swap
available for suspend.  It can also be useful for optimizing performance of
swsusp on systems with 1 GB of RAM or more.

+/sys/power/image_size controls the size of the image created by
+the suspend-to-disk mechanism.  It can be written a string
+representing a non-negative integer that will be used as an upper
+limit of the image size, in megabytes.  The suspend-to-disk mechanism will
+do its best to ensure the image size will not exceed that number.  However,
+if this turns out to be impossible, it will try to suspend anyway using the
+smallest image possible.  In particular, if "0" is written to this file, the
+suspend image will be as small as possible.

+Reading from this file will display the current image size limit, which
+is set to 500 MB by default.
