PM / runtime: Use device links

Browse source 
Modify the runtime PM framework to use device links to ensure that
supplier devices will not be suspended if any of their consumer
devices are active.

The idea is to reference count suppliers on the consumer's resume
and drop references to them on its suspend.  The information on
whether or not the supplier has been reference counted by the
consumer's (runtime) resume is stored in a new field (rpm_active)
in the link object for each link.

It may be necessary to clean up those references when the
supplier is unbinding and that's why the links whose status is
DEVICE_LINK_SUPPLIER_UNBIND are skipped by the runtime suspend
and resume code.

The above means that if the consumer device is probed in the
runtime-active state, the supplier has to be resumed and reference
counted by device_link_add() so the code works as expected on its
(runtime) suspend.  There is a new flag, DEVICE_LINK_RPM_ACTIVE,
to tell device_link_add() about that (in which case the caller
is responsible for making sure that the consumer really will
be runtime-active when runtime PM is enabled for it).

The other new link flag, DEVICE_LINK_PM_RUNTIME, tells the core
whether or not the link should be used for runtime PM at all.
