A simple, non-sanitised C wrapper around __cpu_suspend_enter() would
probably work. We need to make sure it is static inline when !KASAN to
avoid an unnecessary function call. Or we just move cpu_suspend() to a
different compilation unit, though that's a slightly larger function
which we may want to track under KASAN.
