Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] PM: runtime: Add a general runtime get sync operation to deal with usage counter

In many case, we need to check return value of pm_runtime_get_sync, but
it brings a trouble to the usage counter processing. Many callers forget
to decrease the usage counter when it failed. It has been discussed a
lot[0][1]. So we add a function to deal with the usage counter for better
coding.
