PM: runtime: Capture device status before disabling runtime PM
In some cases (for example, during system-wide suspend and resume of devices) it is useful to know whether or not runtime PM has ever been enabled for a given device and, if so, what the runtime PM status of it had been right before runtime PM was disabled for it last time. For this reason, introduce a new struct dev_pm_info field called last_status that will be used for capturing the runtime PM status of the device when its power.disable_depth counter changes from 0 to 1. The new field will be set to RPM_INVALID to start with and whenever power.disable_depth changes from 1 to 0, so it will be valid only when runtime PM of the device is currently disabled, but it has been enabled at least once. Immediately use power.last_status in rpm_resume() to make it handle the case when PM runtime is disabled for the device, but its runtime PM status is RPM_ACTIVE more consistently. Namely, make it return 1 if power.last_status is also equal to RPM_ACTIVE in that case (the idea being that if the status was RPM_ACTIVE last time when power.disable_depth was changing from 0 to 1 and it is still RPM_ACTIVE, it can be assumed to reflect what happened to the device last time when it was using runtime PM) and -EACCES otherwise. Update the documentation to provide a description of last_status and change the description of pm_runtime_resume() in it to reflect the new behavior of rpm_active(). While at it, rearrange the code in pm_runtime_enable() to be more straightforward and replace the WARN() macro in it with a pr_warn() invocation which is less disruptive.
