driver core: Document limitation related to DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE If device_link_add() is called twice in a row to create a stateless device link for the same consumer-supplier pair without an attempt to delete the link between these calls, and the second caller passes DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE to it in flags, calling either device_link_del() or device_link_remove() immediately after that will leave the link's supplier device with nonzero PM-runtime usage counter, which may prevent the supplier from being runtime-suspended going forward until the link is deleted by another invocation of device_link_del() or device_link_remove() for it. Even though this is confusing and may lead to subtle issues, trying to avoid it in the framework also may cause problems to appear, so document it as a known limitation. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
