If device_link_add() is called twice in a row to create a stateless
device link for the same consumer-supplier pair without an attempt
to delete the link between these calls, and the second caller passes
DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE to it in flags, calling either device_link_del()
or device_link_remove() immediately after that will leave the link's
supplier device with nonzero PM-runtime usage counter, which may
prevent the supplier from being runtime-suspended going forward
until the link is deleted by another invocation of device_link_del()
or device_link_remove() for it.
Even though this is confusing and may lead to subtle issues, trying
to avoid it in the framework also may cause problems to appear, so
document it as a known limitation.
