PM: Add sysfs attr for rechecking dev hash from PM trace
If the device which fails to resume is part of a loadable kernel module
it won't be checked at startup against the magic number stored in the
RTC.
Add a read-only sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match which
contains a list of newline separated devices (usually just the one)
which currently match the last magic number. This allows the device
which is failing to resume to be found after the modules are loaded
again.
