Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to
the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is

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.
