PM: Introduce functions for suspending and resuming device interrupts
Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU) during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive interrupts again during the subsequent resume. These functions make it possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being executed. In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc. The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).
