PM / Runtime: Update document about callbacks
Support for device power domains has been introduced in commit 9659cc0678b954f187290c6e8b247a673c5d37e1 (PM: Make system-wide PM and runtime PM treat subsystems consistently), also power domain callbacks will take precedence over subsystem ones from commit 4d27e9dcff00a6425d779b065ec8892e4f391661(PM: Make power domain callbacks take precedence over subsystem ones). So update part of "Device Runtime PM Callbacks" in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
