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.

This issue doesn't break any use cases of mine, it's just something that
I found surprising about the API and that might cause trouble for others.
Hence submitting as RFC.

I kind of agree with this even though it adds overhead I originally wanted to
avoid.

If Greg doesn't object to that, I'll tentatively queue it up for 4.17.
