The user run application 'mc' (Midnight Commander) was blocking hibernation (and now I see there was another application named 'pool').
I tried to kill 'mc' with killall -9. It still refused. I killed the terminal that had it, no way. In the end, I had to poweroff the machine instead.
I think that mc was blocked because it had open a remote directory externally:
sshfs cer@192.168.1.134:/ ~/fusermount/
and that other machine had been hibernated a minute before.
How can it be that a plebeian app stops the almighty kernel in its tracks?
Both threads are in kernel mode and as you yourself said cannot be interrupted. So there is little kernel can do.
Sorry, I still do not understand why a user process such as mc can not be destroyed on order. No excuses. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
