I don't think squashing the second patch to the first really changes this
meaningfully: the i915 driver simply needs both
pm_runtime_get_if_{active,in_use}, and this is what the patch does to other
drivers already. Making the pm_runtime_get_conditional static would also
fit for the first patch if the desire is to not to introduce it at all.
