commit 1ad926459970444af1140f9b393f416536e1a828 upstream.

Since faux devices are not supposed to be involved in any kind of
power management, set the no_pm flag for all of them.

commit 51888393cc64dd0462d0b96c13ab94873abbc030 upstream.

For all practical purposes, there is no difference between the situation
in which a given device is not ignoring children and its active child
count is nonzero and the situation in which its runtime PM usage counter
is nonzero.  However, pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() will only increment the
device's usage counter and return 1 in the latter case.

For consistency, make it do so in the former case either by adjusting
pm_runtime_get_conditional() and update the related kerneldoc comments
accordingly.

After commit aa7a9275ab81 ("PM: sleep: Suspend async parents after
suspending children"), the following scenario is possible:

 1. Device A is async and it depends on device B that is sync.
 2. Async suspend is scheduled for A before the processing of B is
    started.
 3. A is waiting for B.
 4. In the meantime, an unrelated device fails to suspend and returns
    an error.
 5. The processing of B doesn't start at all and its power.completion is
    not updated.
 6. A is still waiting for B when async_synchronize_full() is called.
 7. Deadlock ensues.

To prevent this from happening, update power.completion for all devices
on errors in all suspend phases, but do not do it directly for devices
that are already being processed or are waiting for the processing to
start because in those cases it may be necessary to wait for the
processing to actually complete before updating power.completion for
the device.

Commit 12ffc3b1513e ("PM: Restrict swap use to later in the suspend
sequence") changed two pm_restore_gfp_mask() calls in enter_state()
and hibernation_restore() into one pm_restore_gfp_mask() call in
dpm_resume_end(), but it put that call before the dpm_resume()
invocation which is too early (some swap-backing devices may not be
ready at that point).

Moreover, this code ordering change was not even mentioned in the
changelog of the commit mentioned above.

Address this by moving that call after the dpm_resume() one.

Commit 12ffc3b1513e ("PM: Restrict swap use to later in the suspend
sequence") changed two pm_restore_gfp_mask() calls in enter_state()
and hibernation_restore() into one pm_restore_gfp_mask() call in
dpm_resume_end(), but it put that call before the dpm_resume()
invocation which is too early (some swap-backing devices may not be
ready at that point).

Moreover, this code ordering change was not even mentioned in the
changelog of the commit mentioned above.

Address this by moving that call after the dpm_resume() one.
