PM / runtime: Drop children check from __pm_runtime_set_status()
The check for "active" children in __pm_runtime_set_status(), when trying to set the parent device status to "suspended", doesn't really make sense, because in fact it is not invalid to set the status of a device with runtime PM disabled to "suspended" in any case. It is invalid to enable runtime PM for a device with its status set to "suspended" while its child_count reference counter is nonzero, but the check in __pm_runtime_set_status() doesn't really cover that situation. For this reason, drop the children check from __pm_runtime_set_status() and add a check against child_count reference counters of "suspended" devices to pm_runtime_enable().
