Can confirm this behavior on my Clevo P651RA laptop with GTX 965M, it
shows a weird keystroke on console on inserting a monitor. On the Plasma
desktop, it shows a notification "no outputs detected". Only after
running "xrandr", the external monitor would be picked up.

Based on commit logs for core/core/event.c, the event system seems
initially used for communication between drm and nouveau, later this was
extended to userspace notifications. For some reason, nvkm_acpi_init is
called through this user.c path:

              lspci-14658 [001] d..1 35887.344592: p_nvkm_acpi_init_0: (nvkm_acpi_init+0x0/0x20 [nouveau])
               lspci-14658 [001] d..1 35887.344597: <stack trace>
     => nvkm_udevice_init
     => nvkm_object_init
     => nvkm_object_init
     => nvkm_client_init
     => nvkm_client_resume
     => nvif_client_resume
     => nouveau_do_resume
     => nouveau_pmops_runtime_resume
     => pci_pm_runtime_resume

runtime suspend follows similar code path with resume -> suspend and
init -> fini, but somehow I also see this weird path just before resume:

               lspci-14658 [001] d..1 35887.176959: p_nvkm_acpi_fini_0: (nvkm_acpi_fini+0x0/0x20 [nouveau])
               lspci-14658 [001] d..1 35887.176974: <stack trace>
     => nvkm_device_init
     => nvkm_udevice_init

This was observed on kernel 4.8.6-1-ARCH using kprobe tracing. Hopefully
Ben can clarify this situation. One other comment below.

Nothing depends on the device being suspended immediately, I guess you
can drop _sync and also use:

    pm_runtime_put_autosuspend
