In an error state (e.g. if pm_runtime_get_sync() fails),
pm_runtime_put() would decrement the usage counter and call rpm_idle()
which would instantly return an error code. The end result would be
the same, except that pm_runtime_put() would return a non-zero error
code, but we ignore it anyway. However strange it looks, this seems to
be an API guarantee, so Andy's suggestion is correct.
