This reverts commit 5ab92a7cb82c66bf30685583a38a18538e3807db.

System cannot enter suspend mode because of heartbeat led trigger.
In autosleep_wq, try_to_suspend function will try to enter suspend
mode in specific period. it will get wakeup_count then call pm_notifier
chain callback function and freeze processes.
Heartbeat_pm_notifier is called and it call led_trigger_unregister to
change the trigger of led device to none. It will send uevent message
and the wakeup source count changed. As wakeup_count changed, suspend
will abort.

While investigating an heartbeat LED issue in v4.9.40-ltsi, I stumpled on this
revert (commit 436c4c45b5b9562b ("Revert "leds: handle suspend/resume in
heartbeat trigger"") in v4.12-rc6), which was not backported to v4.9 (yet).

Interestingly, while running v4.9.x on r8a7791/koelsch with an LED configured
for heartbeat, I can actually suspend the system using s2ram.
However, after system resume the heartbeat LED no longer flashes.
/sys/class/leds/LED6/trigger shows the trigger is still "none", and thus
wasn't restored to "heartbeat" by the notifier.
There's no "could not re-register heartbeat trigger" message printed.

Backporting the revert fixes this.

You have my Acked-by: if you want to submit this to some -stable
kernels...
