driver core / PM: Add PM domain callbacks for device setup/cleanup
If PM domains are in use, it may be necessary to prepare the code handling a PM domain for driver probing. For example, in some cases device drivers rely on the ability to power on the devices with the help of the IO runtime PM framework and the PM domain code needs to be ready for that. Also, if that code has not been fully initialized yet, the driver probing should be deferred. Moreover, after the probing is complete, it may be necessary to put the PM domain in question into the state reflecting the current needs of the devices in it, for example, so that power is not drawn in vain. The same should be done after removing a driver from a device, as the PM domain state may need to be changed to reflect the new situation. For these reasons, introduce new PM domain callbacks, ->activate, ->sync and ->dismiss called, respectively, before probing for a device driver, after the probing has completed successfully and if the probing has failed or the driver has been removed.
