swsusp: fix sysfs interface
The sysfs files /sys/power/disk and /sys/power/state do not work as documented, since they allow the user to write only a few initial characters of the input string to trigger the option (eg. 'echo pl > /sys/power/disk' activates the platform mode of hibernation). Fix it. Special thanks to Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@infotech.monash.edu.au> for pointing out the problem.
