The above change isn't correct IMO.

If swsusp_write() returns an error, snapshot_test shouldn't be set (that
basically means "no image", so nothing to test).

So this code should look like

	if (!error) {
		if (hibernation_mode == HIBERNATION_TEST_RESUME)
			snapshot_test = true;
		else
			power_down();
	}

The rest of the patch looks OK to me.

Thanks,
