    pm / runtime: introduce pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() · e823407f

    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.
