Subject: [PATCH v1] PM: runtime: Avoid device usage count underflows

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

A PM-runtime device usage count underflow is potentially critical,
because it may cause a device to be suspended when it is expected to
be operational.

For this reason, (1) make rpm_check_suspend_allowed() return an error
when the device usage count is negative to prevent devices from being
suspended in that case, (2) introduce rpm_drop_usage_count() that will
detect device usage count underflows, warn about them and fix them up,
and (3) use it to drop the usage count in a few places instead of
atomic_dec_and_test().
