Linux Kernel Mentee: Remove Legacy Power Management.

The original goal of the patch series is to upgrade the power management
framework of radeonfb fbdev driver. This has been done by upgrading .suspend()
and .resume() callbacks.

The upgrade makes sure that the involvement of PCI Core does not change the
order of operations executed in a driver. Thus, does not change its behavior.

During this process, it was found that "#if defined(CONFIG_PM)" at line 1434 is
redundant. This was introduced in the commit
42ddb453a0cd ("radeon: Conditionally compile PM code").

I do wonder whether it wouldn't be better to just outright delete these,
we have the drm radeon driver for pretty much all the same hardware ...

In contrast to radeonfb, the radeon driver doesn't support suspend-to-RAM on Apple PowerPC notebooks.
