PM / sleep: Mechanism to avoid resuming runtime-suspended devices unnecessarily

Currently, some subsystems (e.g. PCI and the ACPI PM domain) have to
resume all runtime-suspended devices during system suspend, mostly
because those devices may need to be reprogrammed due to different
wakeup settings for system sleep and for runtime PM.

For some devices, though, it's OK to remain in runtime suspend
throughout a complete system suspend/resume cycle (if the device was in
runtime suspend at the start of the cycle).  We would like to do this
whenever possible, to avoid the overhead of extra power-up and power-down
events.

However, problems may arise because the device's descendants may require
it to be at full power at various points during the cycle.  Therefore the
most straightforward way to do this safely is if the device and all its
descendants can remain runtime suspended until the complete stage of
system resume.

To this end, introduce a new device PM flag, power.direct_complete
and modify the PM core to use that flag as follows.

If the ->prepare() callback of a device returns a positive number,
the PM core will regard that as an indication that it may leave the
device runtime-suspended.  It will then check if the system power
transition in progress is a suspend (and not hibernation in particular)
and if the device is, indeed, runtime-suspended.  In that case, the PM
core will set the device's power.direct_complete flag.  Otherwise it
will clear power.direct_complete for the device and it also will later
clear it for the device's parent (if there's one).

Next, the PM core will not invoke the ->suspend() ->suspend_late(),
->suspend_irq(), ->resume_irq(), ->resume_early(), or ->resume()
callbacks for all devices having power.direct_complete set.  It
will invoke their ->complete() callbacks, however, and those
callbacks are then responsible for resuming the devices as
appropriate, if necessary.  For example, in some cases they may
need to queue up runtime resume requests for the devices using
pm_request_resume().

Changelog partly based on an Alan Stern's description of the idea
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=139940466625569&w=2).
