This is to prevent missing a wakeup event when pm_system_wakeup() runs
at this point on a different CPU.

If you move the locking, it may run as a whole between the
pm_wakeup_pending() check below and the s2idle_state update, so the
wakeup event will be missed.

With the locking in place, the pm_abort_suspend update in
pm_system_wakeup() may still happen at any time, but the code under
the lock in s2idle_wake() after it can only run before the lock is
acquired above or after it is released.

If s2idle_wake() in pm_system_wakeup() runs before the
raw_spin_lock_irq() above, the pm_wakeup_pending() check below will
notice the pm_abort_suspend set and return true, so the suspend will
be aborted (and the pm_abort_suspend update in pm_system_wakeup()
cannot be reordered entirely after the s2idle_wake() call because of
the locking there).

Now, if s2idle_wake() in pm_system_wakeup() runs after the
raw_spin_unlock_irq() below, it will notice the s2idle_state change
and it will update it to S2IDLE_STATE_WAKE, so the suspend will be
aborted.

I guess it would have helped if there had been a comment describing this ...
