[PATCH] PM: Do not use dynamically allocated objects in pm_wakeup_event()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Originally, pm_wakeup_event() uses struct delayed_work objects,
allocated with GFP_ATOMIC, to schedule the execution of pm_relax()
in future.  However, as noted by Alan Stern, it is not necessary to
do that, because all pm_wakeup_event() calls can use one static timer
that will always be set to expire at the latest time passed to
pm_wakeup_event().

The modifications are based on the example code posted by Alan.

This is a resend of a previously posted patch with a couple of minor changes.
If there are no objections, I'll put it into suspend-2.6/linux-next shortly.
