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).
