PM / Runtime: Remove idle notification after failing suspend
If runtime suspend of a device fails returning -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, which means that it's safe to try to suspend it again, the PM core runs the runtime idle helper function for it. Unfortunately this may lead to problems, for example for PCI devices whose drivers don't implement the ->runtime_idle() callback, because in that case the PCI bus type's ->runtime_idle() always calls pm_runtime_suspend() for the given device. Then, if there's an automatic idle notification after the driver's ->runtime_suspend() returning -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, it will make the suspend happen again possibly causing a busy loop to appear. To avoid that, remove the idle notification after failing runtime suspend of a device altogether and let the callers of pm_runtime_suspend() repeat the operation if need be. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
