PM: Make power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem ones

Change the PM core's behavior related to power domains in such a way
that, if a power domain is defined for a given device, its callbacks
will be executed instead of and not in addition to the device
subsystem's PM callbacks.

The idea behind the initial implementation of power domains handling
by the PM core was that power domain callbacks would be executed in
addition to subsystem callbacks, so that it would be possible to
extend the subsystem callbacks by using power domains.  It turns out,
however, that this wouldn't be really convenient in some important
situations.

For example, there are systems in which power can only be removed
from entire power domains.  On those systems it is not desirable to
execute device drivers' PM callbacks until it is known that power is
going to be removed from the devices in question, which means that
they should be executed by power domain callbacks rather then by
subsystem (e.g. bus type) PM callbacks, because subsystems generally
have no information about what devices belong to which power domain.
Thus, for instance, if the bus type in question is the platform bus
type, its PM callbacks generally should not be called in addition to
power domain callbacks, because they run device drivers' callbacks
unconditionally if defined.

While in principle the default subsystem PM callbacks, or a subset of
them, may be replaced with different functions, it doesn't seem
correct to do so, because that would change the subsystem's behavior
with respect to all devices in the system, regardless of whether or
not they belong to any power domains.  Thus, the only remaining
option is to make power domain callbacks take precedence over
subsystem callbacks.
