[PATCH -mm] swsusp: make image size limit tunable

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

Hi,

The following patch makes 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.

This patch depends on the swsusp-limit-image-size patch.

Please apply.

Greetings,
Rafael
