[PATCH] swsusp: make image size limit tunable

Make the suspend image size limit tunable via /sys/power/image_size.

It is necessary for systems on which there is a limited amount of swap
available for suspend.  It can also be useful for optimizing performance of
swsusp on systems with 1 GB of RAM or more.
