Does applying the following on top make any difference?

==== CUT HERE ====
PM: Shrink memory before suspend

This is a partial revert of c6f37f12197ac3bd2e5a35f2f0e195ae63d437de. It
is an outside possibility for fixing the e100 bug where an order-5
allocation is failing during resume. The commit notes that the shrinking
of memory should be unnecessary but maybe it is in error.
