pm / runtime: introduce pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio()
Introduce the flag memalloc_noio in 'struct dev_pm_info' to help PM core
to teach mm not allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL flag for avoiding
probable deadlock.
As explained in the comment, any GFP_KERNEL allocation inside
runtime_resume() or runtime_suspend() on any one of device in the path
from one block or network device to the root device in the device tree
may cause deadlock, the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() sets
or clears the flag on device in the path recursively.
