"step_after_suspend_test fails with device busy error while
writing to /sys/power/state to start suspend." The test believes
it failed to enter suspend state with
$ sudo ./step_after_suspend_test
TAP version 13
Bail out! Failed to enter Suspend state
However, in the kernel message, I indeed see the system get
suspended and then wake up later.

[611203.162059] PM: suspend exit
After investigation, I noticed that for the code block
if (write(power_state_fd, "mem", strlen("mem")) != strlen("mem"))
ksft_exit_fail_msg("Failed to enter Suspend state\n");
The write will return -1 and errno is set to 16 (device busy).
It should be caused by the write function is not successfully returned
before the system suspend and the return value get messed when waking up.
As a result, It may be better to check the time passed of those few
instructions to determine whether the suspend is executed correctly for
it is pretty hard to execute those few lines for 5 seconds.
The timer to wake up the system is set to expire after 5 seconds and
no re-arm. If the timer remaining time is 0 second and 0 nano secomd,
it means the timer expired and wake the system up. Otherwise, the system
could be considered to enter the suspend state failed if there is any
remaining time.
After appling this patch, the test would not fail for it believes the
system does not go to suspend by mistake. It now could continue to the
rest part of the test after suspend.
