Some drivers require sleeping, for example if the pwm device is connected
over i2c. The pwm-ir-tx requires precise timing, and sleeping causes havoc
with the generated IR signal when sleeping occurs.

This patch makes it possible to use pwm when the driver does not sleep,
by introducing the pwm_can_sleep() function.

Wrongly calling the atomic variant (no matter how it's named) in a
context where sleeping is possible is only a minor issue. Being faster
than necessary is hardly a problem, so it only hurts by not being an
preemption point with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY which might not even be relevant
because we're near to a system call anyhow.

For me the naming is only very loosely related to the possible bugs. I
think calling the wrong function happens mainly because the driver author
isn't aware in which context the call happens and not because of wrong
assumptions about the sleepiness of a certain function call.
If you consider this an argument however, do_it + do_it_cansleep is
better than do_it_atomic + do_it as wrongly assuming do_it would sleep
is less bad than wrongly assuming do_it wouldn't sleep. (The latter is
catched by CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, but only if it's enabled.)

Having said that while my subjective preference ordering is (with first
= best):

	do_it + do_it_cansleep
	do_it_atomic + do_it_cansleep
	do_it_atomic + do_it

wi(th a _might_sleep or _mightsleep suffix ranging below _cansleep)
I wouldn't get sleepless nights when I get overruled here
(uwe_cansleep :-).
