driver core: Fix PM-runtime for links added during consumer probe



Commit 4c06c4e6 ("driver core: Fix possible supplier PM-usage
counter imbalance") introduced a regression that causes suppliers
to be suspended prematurely for device links added during consumer
driver probe if the initial PM-runtime status of the consumer is
"suspended" and the consumer is resumed after adding the link and
before pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is called.  In that case,
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will drop the rpm_active refcount for
the link by one and (since rpm_active is equal to two after the
preceding consumer resume) the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter
will be decremented, which may cause the supplier to suspend even
though the consumer's PM-runtime status is "active".

For this reason, partially revert commit 4c06c4e6 as the problem
it tried to fix needs to be addressed somewhat differently, and
change pm_runtime_get_suppliers() and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() so
that the latter only drops rpm_active references acquired by the
former.  [This requires adding a new field to struct device_link,
but I coulnd't find a cleaner way to address the issue that would
work in all cases.]

This causes pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to effectively ignore device
links added during consumer probe, so device_link_add() doesn't need
to worry about ensuring that suppliers will remain active after
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() for links created with DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE
set and it only needs to bump up rpm_active by one for those links,
so pm_runtime_active_link() is not necessary any more.
