Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is triggered when pm_trace is enabled, and we have fixed it in recent kernel. However it's improper in the first place to call __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime() in case that pm_trace is enabled simply because that "hash" time value will wreckage the timekeeping subsystem. This patch is originally written by Thomas, which would bypass the bogus rtc interval when pm_trace is enabled. Meanwhile, if system succeed to resume back with pm_trace set, the users are warned to adjust the bogus rtc either by ntp-date or rdate, by resetting pm_trace_rtc_abused to false, otherwise above tools might not work as expected.
