[PATCH] pdflush: handle resume wakeups
pdflush is carefully designed to ensure that all wakeups have some corresponding work to do - if a woken-up pdflush thread discovers that it hasn't been given any work to do then this is considered an error. That all broke when swsusp came along - because a timer-delivered wakeup to a frozen pdflush thread will just get lost. This causes the pdflush thread to get lost as well: the writeback timer is supposed to be re-armed by pdflush in process context, but pdflush doesn't execute the callout which does this. Fix that up by ignoring the return value from try_to_freeze(): jsut proceed, see if we have any work pending and only go back to sleep if that is not the case.
