AFAICT psci_enter_domain_idle_state() is still buggered. All that
pm_runtime_*() stuff is using locks.

Look at this:

  psci_enter_domain_idle_state()
    pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend()
      __pm_runtime_suspend()
        spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->power.lock, flags);

That's a definite fail after we've done rcu_idle_enter().

Similar problem I'm thinking, 'complicated' stuff.
