PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context

Browse source 
Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks.  This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.

This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.

However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.

Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.

By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
enabled. However, subsystems can use the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function
to tell the PM core that a device's ->runtime_suspend() and ->runtime_resume()
callbacks should be invoked in atomic context with interrupts disabled
(->runtime_idle() is still invoked the default way). This implies that these
callback routines must not block or sleep, but it also means that the
synchronous helper functions listed at the end of Section 4 can be used within
an interrupt handler or in an atomic context.
