clocksource: Resume clocksource without taking the clocksource mutex
git commit 75c5158f70c065b9 converted the clocksource spinlock to a mutex. This causes the following BUG: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 2473, name: pm-suspend 2 locks held by pm-suspend/2473: #0: (&buffer->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8115ab13>] sysfs_write_file+0x3c/0x137 #1: (pm_mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff810865b5>] enter_state+0x39/0x130 Pid: 2473, comm: pm-suspend Not tainted 2.6.31 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810792f0>] ? __debug_show_held_locks+0x22/0x24 [<ffffffff8104a2ef>] __might_sleep+0x107/0x10b [<ffffffff8141fca9>] mutex_lock_nested+0x25/0x43 [<ffffffff81073537>] clocksource_resume+0x1c/0x60 [<ffffffff81072902>] timekeeping_resume+0x1e/0x1c8 [<ffffffff812aee62>] __sysdev_resume+0x25/0xcf [<ffffffff812aef79>] sysdev_resume+0x6d/0xae [<ffffffff810864f8>] suspend_devices_and_enter+0x12b/0x1af [<ffffffff8108665b>] enter_state+0xdf/0x130 [<ffffffff81085dc3>] state_store+0xb6/0xd3 [<ffffffff81204c73>] kobj_attr_store+0x17/0x19 [<ffffffff8115abd2>] sysfs_write_file+0xfb/0x137 [<ffffffff811057d2>] vfs_write+0xae/0x10b [<ffffffff81208392>] ? __up_read+0x1a/0x7f [<ffffffff811058ef>] sys_write+0x4a/0x6e [<ffffffff81011b82>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources without taking the clocksource mutex.
