Until now the scsi mid-layer forbids runtime suspend till userspace enables it. This is mainly to quarantine some disks with broken runtime power management or have high latencies executing suspend resume callbacks. If the userspace doesn't enable the runtime suspend the underlying hardware will be always on even when it is not doing any useful work and thus wasting power.

Some low-level drivers for the controllers can efficiently use runtime power management to reduce power consumption and improve battery life.

This patchset allows runtime suspend parameters override within the LLD itself instead of waiting for userspace to control the power management, and make UFS as the first user of this capability.

v3 => v4:
- Change scsi_device->rpm_autosuspend_on to scsi_device->rpm_autosuspend (Bart)
- Make the comment of scsi_device->rpm_autosuspend more elaborate (Bart)

v2 => v3:
- Create a member indicating autosuspend delay for the same SCSI host in SCSI host template (Bart)
- Use separate variables to control different things, (Bart)
    (a) Whether or not runtime suspend is enabled at device creation time
    (b) The power management autosuspend delay

v1 => v2:
- Allow "zero" sdev->rpm_autosuspend_delay (Avri)
- Fix format of some lines (Avri)
