[PATCH][mm] swsusp: limit image size

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

Hi,

The following patch limits the size of the suspend image to approx. 500 MB,
which should improve the overall performance of swsusp on systems with
more than 1 GB of RAM.

It introduces the constant IMAGE_SIZE that can be set to the preferred size
of the image (in MB) and modifies the memory-shrinking part of
swsusp to take this constant into account (500 is the default value
of IMAGE_SIZE).

Please apply (Pavel, please ack if that's ok).

Greetings,
Rafael
