Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] PM / Runtime: introduce pm_runtime_set[get]_memalloc_noio()
The patch introduces the flag of memalloc_noio_resume in
'struct dev_pm_info' to help PM core to teach mm not allocating
memory with GFP_KERNEL flag for avoiding probable deadlock
problem.
As explained in the comment, any GFP_KERNEL allocation inside
runtime_resume on any one of device in the path from one block
or network device to the root device in the device tree may cause
deadlock, the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() sets or
clears the flag on device of the path recursively.
This patch also introduces pm_runtime_get_memalloc_noio() because
the flag may be accessed in block device's error handling path
(for example, usb device reset)

v3:
- introduce pm_runtime_get_memalloc_noio()
- hold one global lock on pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio
- hold device power lock when accessing memalloc_noio_resume
flag suggested by Alan Stern
- implement pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio without recursion
suggested by Alan Stern
v2:
- introduce pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio()
