Subject: [PATCH] PM / Domains: Don't return -EEXIST at attach when PM domain exists

As dev_pm_domain_attach() isn't the only way to assign PM domain pointers
to devices, clearly we must allow a device to have the pointer already
being assigned. For this reason, return 0 instead of -EEXIST.

Krzysztof reported problems for an Exynos5 board, where some devices are added
to their PM domains (genpd) via calling of_genpd_add_device(). As also pointed
out by Sylvester, this leads to probe failure when dev_pm_domain_attach()
returns -EXISTS.

Rafael, potentially this change could be squashed with the recently queued
patch: "PM / Domains: Check for existing PM domain in dev_pm_domain_attach()",
but perhaps its too late for that and the fix is better applied on top!?
