In the case where:
- at the first instance of suspend_enter, pm_wakeup_pending() returns false.
- after suspend_ops->enter(state), the pm_wakeup_pending() "wants" to
return true.
- however, suspend_again forces to loop again.
- then, at the second instance of suspend_enter, pm_wakeup_pending()
returns true.
- the suspend_again's loop breaks.

Although it did not break the loop at the first while, it breaks
without calling suspend_ops->enter again anyway.

Besides, if we simply call pm_wakeup_pending() again at there, the
loop will NOT break with pm_wakeup_pending() is true at the first call
inside of suspend_enter(). The function pm_wakeup_pending() clears out
the pending wakeup at each call; thus, in the following example, the
loop will not break:

- At the first instance of suspend_enter in the suspend-again loop,
pm_wakeup_pending() returns true in suspend_enter().
- suspend_enter() returns without error.
- pm_wakeup_pending() is called again at the while statement along
with suspend_ops->suspend_again().
- pm_wakeup_pending() now returns false because it has already
returned true before and cleared "events_check_enabled"
- the loop continues.

Because pm_save_wakeup_count will return true only once for each
wakeup-preventing-event, the result of pm_wakeup_pending in
suspend_enter() should be relayed outside to the loop anyway.
