PM / Sleep: Add user space interface for manipulating wakeup sources, v3

Android allows user space to manipulate wakelocks using two
sysfs file located in /sys/power/, wake_lock and wake_unlock.
Writing a wakelock name and optionally a timeout to the wake_lock
file causes the wakelock whose name was written to be acquired (it
is created before is necessary), optionally with the given timeout.
Writing the name of a wakelock to wake_unlock causes that wakelock
to be released.

Implement an analogous interface for user space using wakeup sources.
Add the /sys/power/wake_lock and /sys/power/wake_unlock files
allowing user space to create, activate and deactivate wakeup
sources, such that writing a name and optionally a timeout to
wake_lock causes the wakeup source of that name to be activated,
optionally with the given timeout.  If that wakeup source doesn't
exist, it will be created and then activated.  Writing a name to
wake_unlock causes the wakeup source of that name, if there is one,
to be deactivated.  Wakeup sources created with the help of
wake_lock that haven't been used for more than 5 minutes are garbage
collected and destroyed.  Moreover, there can be only WL_NUMBER_LIMIT
wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock present at a time.

The data type used to track wakeup sources created by user space is
called "struct wakelock" to indicate the origins of this feature.

This version of the patch includes an rbtree manipulation fix from John Stultz.

+Description:
+		The /sys/power/wake_lock file allows user space to create
+		wakeup source objects and activate them on demand (if one of
+		those wakeup sources is active, reads from the
+		/sys/power/wakeup_count file block or return false).  When a
+		string without white space is written to /sys/power/wake_lock,
+		it will be assumed to represent a wakeup source name.  If there
+		is a wakeup source object with that name, it will be activated
+		(unless active already).  Otherwise, a new wakeup source object
+		will be registered, assigned the given name and activated.
+		If a string written to /sys/power/wake_lock contains white
+		space, the part of the string preceding the white space will be
+		regarded as a wakeup source name and handled as descrived above.
+		The other part of the string will be regarded as a timeout (in
+		nanoseconds) such that the wakeup source will be automatically
+		deactivated after it has expired.  The timeout, if present, is
+		set regardless of the current state of the wakeup source object
+		in question.
+
+		Reads from this file return a string consisting of the names of
+		wakeup sources created with the help of it that are active at
+		the moment, separated with spaces.
