PM: Add facility for advanced testing of async suspend/resume

Add configuration switch CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG for compiling in
extra PM debugging/testing code allowing one to access some
PM-related attributes of devices from the user space via sysfs.

If CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG is set, add sysfs attribute power/async
for every device allowing the user space to access the device's
power.async_suspend flag and modify it, if desired.

+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to
+		enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to
+		be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel
+		with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power
+		transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation).
+
+		All devices have one of the following two values for the
+		power/async file:
+
+		+ "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume;
+		+ "disabled\n" to forbid it;
+
+		The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either
+		"enabled", or "disabled" to it.
+
+		It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume
+		of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies
+		of the device are known to the PM core.  However, for some
+		devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or
+		device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the
+		default value.
