driver core: Introduce device links reference counting

Browse Source 
If device_link_add() is invoked multiple times with the same supplier
and consumer combo, it will create the link on first addition and
return a pointer to the already existing link on all subsequent
additions.

The semantics for device_link_del() are quite different, it deletes
the link unconditionally, so multiple invocations are not allowed.

In other words, this snippet ...

    struct device *dev1, *dev2;
    struct device_link *link1, *link2;

    link1 = device_link_add(dev1, dev2, 0);
    link2 = device_link_add(dev1, dev2, 0);

    device_link_del(link1);
    device_link_del(link2);

... causes the following crash:

    WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 2686 at drivers/base/power/runtime.c:1611 pm_runtime_drop_link+0x40/0x50
    [...]
    list_del corruption, 0000000039b800a4->prev is LIST_POISON2 (00000000ecf79852)
    kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:50!

The issue isn't as arbitrary as it may seem:  Imagine a device link
which is added in both the supplier's and the consumer's ->probe hook.
The two drivers can't just call device_link_del() in their ->remove hook
without coordination.

Fix by counting multiple additions and dropping the device link only
when the last addition is unwound.
