[PATCH] PM: runtime: Add safety net to supplier device release

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Because refcount_dec_not_one() returns true if the target refcount
becomes saturated, it is generally unsafe to use its return value as
a loop termination condition, but that is what happens when a device
link's supplier device is released during runtime PM suspend
operations and on device link removal.

To address this, introduce pm_runtime_release_supplier() to be used
in the above cases which will check the supplier device's runtime
PM usage counter in addition to the refcount_dec_not_one() return
value, so the loop can be terminated in case the rpm_active refcount
value becomes invalid, and update the code in question to use it as
appropriate.

This change is not expected to have any visible functional impact.
