In the case consumer device is runtime resumed, while the link to the supplier is removed, the earlier call to pm_runtime_get_sync() made from rpm_get_suppliers() does not get properly balanced with a corresponding call to pm_runtime_put(). This leads to that suppliers remains to be runtime resumed forever, while they don't need to.
Let's fix the behaviour by calling rpm_put_suppliers() when dropping a device link. Not that, since rpm_put_suppliers() checks the link->rpm_active flag, we can correctly avoid to call pm_runtime_put() in cases when we shouldn't.

The device link write lock has been taken when pm_runtime_drop_link() is called, hence I assume calling rpm_put_suppliers() should be fine!? If not, can you please advise how to change?
