Hibernate and resume process submits individual IO requests for each page
of the data. With this patch, we use blk_plug to improve the batching of
these requests.

Tested this patch with hibernate and resumes, and consistently observed the
merging of the IO requests. We see more than an order of magnitude
improvement in hibernate and resume speed.

One hibernate and resume cycle for 16GB used RAM out of 32GB takes around
21 minutes before the change, and 1 minutes after the change on systems
with limited storage IOPS.
