[PATCH v3 1/8] PM / Sleep: Make the runtime PM centric path known to the PM core

The main principle behind the runtime PM centric path, is to re-use the
runtime PM callbacks to implement system sleep - and while doing that also
achieve a fully optimized behaviour from PM point of view.

More precisely, avoid to wake up a device from its low power state during
system sleep, unless the device is really needed to be operational. That
does not only mean avoiding to waste power, but may also decrease system
suspend/resume time for a device.

However, using the runtime PM centric path for a device, does put some
requirements on the behaviour of the PM core and a potential PM domain that
may be attached to the device. So far, these requirements are not being
specially considered, except by the generic PM domain.

To move forward and to make it possible to deploy the runtime PM centric
path for cross SoC drivers, which may have different PM domains attached to
its devices depending on the SoC, we must address how to deal with these
requirements. This change starts by making some adoptions to the PM core,
while other parts, such as the ACPI PM domain needs to be taken care of
separately.

In the runtime PM centric path, the driver is expected to make use of the
pm_runtime_force_suspend|resume() helpers, to deploy system sleep support.
More precisely it may assign the system sleep callbacks to these helpers or
may call them from its own callbacks, in case it needs to perform
additional actions during system sleep.

In other words, the PM core must always invoke the system sleep callbacks
for the device when they are present, to allow the driver to deal with
the system sleep operations.

In case the PM core decides to run the direct_complete path for the device,
it skips invoking most of the system sleep callbacks, besides
->prepare|complete(). Therefore using the direct_complete path in
combination with the runtime PM centric patch for a device, does not play
well.

To deal with this issue, let's add a flag 'is_rpm_sleep', to the struct
dev_pm_info. The driver that deploys the runtime PM centric path, shall set
the flag for the device during ->probe(), to inform the PM core about that
it must not use the direct_complete path for the device.

Note, not allowing the direct_complete path for a device, doesn't implicit
need to propagate to the device's parent/suppliers. Therefore make the PM
core check this condition in device_suspend(), before it decides to abandon
the direct_complete path for parent/suppliers.

To make the is_rpm_sleep flag internal to the PM core, let's add two APIs.
	- dev_pm_use_rpm_sleep(): It sets the flag and should be called by
	  the driver during ->probe().
	- dev_pm_is_rpm_sleep(): Makes it possible for users of the device,
	  like a PM domain, to fetch the state of the flag.

Changes in v3:
	- New patch.
	- This replaces the earlier method of adding the no_direct_complete to
	the ACPI structures, according to comments from Rafael.
	- This change also address the consern Rafael had around that
	direct_complete should not have to be disabled for parent/suppliers, in
	case a device use the runtime PM centric path for system sleep.
