From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

The sysfs files /sys/power/disk and /sys/power/state do not work as documented,
since they allow the user to write only a few initial characters of the
input string to trigger the option (eg. 'echo pl > /sys/power/disk' activates
the platform mode of hibernation).  Fix it.

Special thanks to Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@infotech.monash.edu.au> for
pointing out the problem.
