PM: hibernate: Restrict writes to the resume device

Hibernation via snapshot device requires write permission to the swap block device, the one that more often (but not necessarily) is used to store the hibernation image. With this patch, such permissions are granted iff: 1) snapshot device config option is enabled 2) swap partition is used as resume device In other circumstances the swap device is not writable from userspace. In order to achieve this, every write attempt to a swap device is checked against the device configured as part of the uswsusp API [0] using a pointer to the inode struct in memory. If the swap device being written was not configured for resuming, the write request is denied. NOTE: this implementation works only for swap block devices, where the inode configured by swapon (which sets S_SWAPFILE) is the same used by SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA. In case of swap file, SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA indeed receives the inode of the block device containing the filesystem where the swap file is located (+ offset in it) which is never passed to swapon and then has not set S_SWAPFILE. As result, the swap file itself (as a file) has never an option to be written from userspace. Instead it remains writable if accessed directly from the containing block device, which is always writeable from root.
