A better solution would be to resume instead of panic().

This looks dangerous. It adds a simple way to panic() the system.

First, it should get enabled separately. e.g.
CONFIG_TEST_PM_SLEEP_MONITOR.

Second, I would add it as a module that might get loaded
and unloaded.

Using kthread looks like an overkill to me. I wonder how this actually
works when the kthreads get freezed. It might be enough to implement
just a timer callback. Start the timer in start_suspend_mon() and
delete it in stop_suspend_mon(). Or do I miss anything?

Anyway, the kthread implementation looks a but hairy. If you really
need to use kthread, I suggest to use kthread_worker API. You would
need to run an init work to setup the RT scheduling. Then you
could just call kthread_queue_delayed_work(()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() to start and stop
the monitor.

It is better to solve this by defining start_suspend_mon() as empty
function when the config option is disabled. For example, see
how  vgacon_text_force() is defined in console.h.
