When the DMC wakelock refcount reaches zero, we know that there are no users and that we can do the actual release operation on the hardware, which is queued with a delayed work. The idea of the delayed work is to avoid performing the release if a new lock user appears (i.e. refcount gets incremented) in a very short period of time. Based on the above, the release work should bail out if refcount is non-zero (meaning new lock users appeared in the meantime), but our current code actually does the opposite: it bails when refcount is zero. That means that the wakelock is not released when it should be; and that, when the work is not canceled in time, it ends up being releasing when it should not. Fix that by inverting the condition.
