In many case, we need to check return value of pm_runtime_get_sync, but it brings a trouble to the usage counter processing. Many callers forget to decrease the usage counter when it failed. It has been discussed a lot[0][1]. So we add a function to deal with the usage counter for better coding and view. Then, we replace pm_runtime_get_sync with it in fec_main.c
