As I mentioned earlier, if some driver failed to suspend, and during
resume if *somebody* called pm_stay_awake() or pm_wakeup_event()
meantime, and then pm_relax(), final_count and initial_count will not
be the same in try_to_suspend(). We observed this behavior with
battery monitor thread on being restarted
In these scenarios, it will be considered a *valid wakeup* event and
it will try to queue suspend immediately, though the actual reason of
resume was driver returning error code.
For such scenarios, event count may not always be safe way to identify.
