Bug Description

I'm on rtm build 258 on krillin

Steps to reproduce:
- let battery run down on phone (was sitting unplugged for 1 or 2 days)
- in the morning, a calendar alarm starting ringing/vibrating and would not stop
- when I looked at the phone, the screen was on and I see the Low Battery dialog
- after dismissing the dialog, then I see the notification for the alarm, and only after 5-10 more seconds does the ringing stop

Seems like while the Low Battery dialog is displayed it keeps the alarm ringing forever

it seems to actually be usensord's fault and is easy to reproduce, i think the low battery dialog is just a coincidence here ...

to repro:

echo 10000 >/sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/enable (as root in the terminal app) then suspend and the buzzing wont stop

usensord needs to hold a wakelock while theres an active vibration timer ...

From the description this seems like a different case of the vibration. Does it keep *ringing* literally, or just vibrating? Is it with the screen off? or on.
