This patch applies the introduced memalloc_noio_save() and
memalloc_noio_restore() to force memory allocation with no I/O
during runtime_resume/runtime_suspend callback on device with
the flag of 'memalloc_noio' set.

v5:
	- use inline memalloc_noio_save()
v4:
	- runtime_suspend need this too because rpm_resume may wait for
	completion of concurrent runtime_suspend, so deadlock still may
	be triggered in runtime_suspend path.

Please don't duplicate code this way.

You can move that whole thing to rpm_callback().  Yes, you'll probably need to
check dev->power.memalloc_noio twice in there, but that's OK.

 	if (retval) {
 		__update_runtime_status(dev, RPM_SUSPENDED);
 		pm_runtime_cancel_pending(dev);
Thanks,
Rafael
