From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Move the definition of PAGES_FOR_IO to kernel/power/power.h and introduce
SPARE_PAGES representing the number of pages that should be freed by the
swsusp's memory shrinker in addition to PAGES_FOR_IO so that device drivers can
allocate some memory (up to 1 MB total) in their .suspend() routines without
causing the suspend to fail.
