Grr. I'm surprised this result ;-)
shrink_all_memory() finish to shrink memory successfully. but your
system still hang immediately after. I have no idea why this mysterious
occur. 

I prepared next debugging patch. It added prenty debug printk. I hope
it enlighten up which path makes system hang-up.

1. apply my new patch

2. Enable following PM debug option in Kconfig

  [*] Power Management support
  [*]   Power Management Debug Support
  [*]     Extra PM attributes in sysfs for low-level debugging/testing
  [*]     Verbose Power Management debugging

3. append following kernel boot option into grub configration file

	no_console_suspend=1

3. kernel build and reboot
4. some prepare
   # echo 8 > /proc/sysrq-trigger
   # cd /sys/power
   # echo 1 > pm_trace
   # echo 0 > pm_async

5. run your test program

This is expected result because tmpfs shrink need swap-out. then
we need i/o time.
