It is coming from kernel/power/suspend_test.c:53 -
 
/* Warning on suspend means the RTC alarm period needs to be
         * larger -- the system was sooo slooowwww to suspend that the
         * alarm (should have) fired before the system went to sleep!

        WARN(msec > (TEST_SUSPEND_SECONDS * 1000),
             "Component: %s, time: %u\n", label, msec);

That just means your system is slow to suspend/resume. I've seen the same 
many times on my older machines - you can likely ignore it.
