Patch to remove the redundant check, apply on top of this one.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ACPI / PM: Remove redundant check for power manageable in
 acpi_bus_set_power

Now that we will check if a device is power manageable in
acpi_device_set_power, it is no longer necessary to do this check in
acpi_bus_set_power, so remove it.
