This increase the reference count of the runtime status container
for the device. _sync makes sure it happens now.

Consult:
Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt

It is not necessary to handle the power state at the driver level,
it can just as well be handled by the voltage/power domain,
or at the class, type or bus level.

But the individual driver has to notify the system upward if it
needs to be powered on or when it may or must be relaxed.
