PM / Sleep: Fix race conditions related to wakeup source timer function
If __pm_wakeup_event() has been used (with a nonzero timeout) to
report a wakeup event and then __pm_relax() immediately followed by
__pm_stay_awake() is called or __pm_wakeup_event() is called once
again for the same wakeup source object before its timer expires, the
timer function pm_wakeup_timer_fn() may still be run as a result of
the previous __pm_wakeup_event() call. In either of those cases it
may mistakenly deactivate the wakeup source that has just been
activated.
To prevent that from happening, make wakeup_source_deactivate()
clear the wakeup source's timer_expires field and make
pm_wakeup_timer_fn() check if timer_expires is different from zero
and if it's not in future before calling wakeup_source_deactivate()
(if timer_expires is 0, it means that the timer has just been
deleted and if timer_expires is in future, it means that the timer
has just been rescheduled to a different time).
