driver core: Fix possible supplier PM-usage counter imbalance



If a stateless device link to a certain supplier with
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME set in the flags is added and then removed by the
consumer driver's probe callback, the supplier's PM-runtime usage
counter will be nonzero after that which effectively causes the
supplier to remain "always on" going forward.

Namely, device_link_add() called to add the link invokes
device_link_rpm_prepare() which notices that the consumer driver is
probing, so it increments the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter
with the assumption that the link will stay around until
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is called by driver_probe_device(),
but if the link goes away before that point, the supplier's
PM-runtime usage counter will remain nonzero.

To prevent that from happening, first rework pm_runtime_get_suppliers()
and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to use the rpm_active refounts of device
links and make the latter only drop rpm_active and the supplier's
PM-runtime usage counter for each link by one, unless rpm_active is
one already for it.  Next, modify device_link_add() to bump up the
new link's rpm_active refcount and the suppliers PM-runtime usage
counter by two, to prevent pm_runtime_put_suppliers(), if it is
called subsequently, from suspending the supplier prematurely (in
case its PM-runtime usage counter goes down to 0 in there).

Due to the way rpm_put_suppliers() works, this change does not
affect runtime suspend of the consumer ends of new device links (or,
generally, device links for which DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME has just been
set).
