PM: core: Fix handling of devices deleted during system-wide resume
If a device is deleted by one of its system-wide resume callbacks (for example, because it does not appear to be present or accessible any more) along with its children, the resume of the children may continue leading to use-after-free errors and other issues (potentially). Namely, if the device's children are resumed asynchronously, their resume may have been scheduled already before the device's callback runs and so the device may be deleted while dpm_wait_for_superior() is being executed for them. The memory taken up by the parent device object may be freed then while dpm_wait() is waiting for the parent's resume callback to complete, which leads to a use-after-free. Moreover, the resume of the children is really not expected to continue after they have been unregistered, so it must be terminated right away in that case. To address this problem, modify dpm_wait_for_superior() to check if the target device is still there in the system-wide PM list of devices and if so, to increment its parent's reference counter, both under dpm_list_mtx which prevents device_del() running for the child from dropping the parent's reference counter prematurely. If the device is not present in the system-wide PM list of devices any more, the resume of it cannot continue, so check that again after dpm_wait() returns, which means that the parent's callback has been completed, and pass the result of that check to the caller of dpm_wait_for_superior() to allow it to abort the device's resume if it is not there any more.
