If the device is RPM_SUSPENDING, why immediately resume it for polling?
It's sufficient to poll it the next time around, i.e. 1 second later.

Likewise, if it's already RPM_RESUMING or RPM_ACTIVE anyway, no need
to poll PME.

This leaves RPM_SUSPENDED as the only state in which it makes sense to
poll.

Why?  Let's say there's a race and the device resumes immediately after
we call pm_runtime_suspended() here.  So we might call pci_pme_wakeup()
gratuitouly.  So what?  No biggie.

Hm, I'd expect that lock to be internal to the PM core,
although there *are* a few stray users outside of it.

Thanks,
