Without this patch, we hit an hang issue on Android.

Scenario:
Kernel starts shutdown and calls all device driver's shutdown callback.
When a driver's shutdown is called, the last wakelock is released and
suspend-to-ram starts. However, as some driver's shut down callbacks
already shut down devices and disable runtime pm, the suspend-to-ram
calls driver's suspend callback without noticing that device is already
off and causes crash.
We know the drivers should be fixed, but can we also change generic
codes a little to make it stronger?
