[PATCH 1/5] pmdomain: core: Restore behaviour for disabling unused PM domains

Recent changes to genpd prevents those PM domains being powered-on during
initialization from being powered-off during the boot sequence. Based upon
whether CONFIG_PM_CONFIG_PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS_OF is set of not, genpd relies
on the sync_state mechanism or the genpd_power_off_unused() (which is a
late_initcall_sync), to understand when it's okay to allow these PM domains
to be powered-off.

This new behaviour in genpd has lead to problems on different platforms.
Let's therefore restore the behavior of genpd_power_off_unused().
Moreover, let's introduce GENPD_FLAG_NO_STAY_ON, to allow genpd OF
providers to opt-out from the new behaviour.
