Rafael J. Wysocki 515db266a9 driver core: Remove device link creation limitation
If device_link_add() is called for a consumer/supplier pair with an
existing device link between them and the existing link's type is
not in agreement with the flags passed to that function by its
caller, NULL will be returned.  That is seriously inconvenient,
because it forces the callers of device_link_add() to worry about
what others may or may not do even if that is not relevant to them
for any other reasons.

It turns out, however, that this limitation can be made go away
relatively easily.

The underlying observation is that if DL_FLAG_STATELESS has been
passed to device_link_add() in flags for the given consumer/supplier
pair at least once, calling either device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to release the link returned by it should work,
but there are no other requirements associated with that flag.  In
turn, if at least one of the callers of device_link_add() for the
given consumer/supplier pair has not passed DL_FLAG_STATELESS to it
in flags, the driver core should track the status of the link and act
on it as appropriate (ie. the link should be treated as "managed").
This means that DL_FLAG_STATELESS needs to be set for managed device
links and it should be valid to call device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to drop references to them in certain
sutiations.

To allow that to happen, introduce a new (internal) device link flag
called DL_FLAG_MANAGED and make device_link_add() set it automatically
whenever DL_FLAG_STATELESS is not passed to it.  Also make it take
additional references to existing device links that were previously
stateless (that is, with DL_FLAG_STATELESS set and DL_FLAG_MANAGED
unset) and will need to be managed going forward and initialize
their status (which has been DL_STATE_NONE so far).

Accordingly, when a managed device link is dropped automatically
by the driver core, make it clear DL_FLAG_MANAGED, reset the link's
status back to DL_STATE_NONE and drop the reference to it associated
with DL_FLAG_MANAGED instead of just deleting it right away (to
allow it to stay around in case it still needs to be released
explicitly by someone).

With that, since setting DL_FLAG_STATELESS doesn't mean that the
device link in question is not managed any more, replace all of the
status-tracking checks against DL_FLAG_STATELESS with analogous
checks against DL_FLAG_MANAGED and update the documentation to
reflect these changes.

While at it, make device_link_add() reject flags that it does not
recognize, including DL_FLAG_MANAGED.
