Should I assume that's an ack for all the patches?

It's now not soo difficult to have an error code returned from the
finisher function - the only thing we have to make sure is that
the cpu_do_suspend helper just saves state and does not make any
state changes.

We can then do this, which makes it possible for the finisher to
return, and we propagate its return value.  We also ensure that a
path through from cpu_resume will result in a zero return value
from cpu_suspend.

This isn't an invitation for people to make the S2RAM path return
after they time out waiting for suspend to happen - that's potentially
dangerous because in that case the suspend may happen while we're
resuming devices which wouldn't be nice.
