PM / Sleep: Require CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND to use wake_lock/wake_unlock
Require processes wanting to use the wake_lock/wake_unlock sysfs files to have the CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND capability, which also is required for the eventpoll EPOLLWAKEUP flag to be effective, so that all interfaces related to blocking autosleep depend on the same capability.
