This patch applyes the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on
block device so that PM core will teach mm to not allocate memory with
GFP_IOFS when calling the runtime_resume and runtime_suspend callback
for block devices and its ancestors.

v4:
	- call pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(ddev, true) after device_add

Again, please fix the comment style.  Take a look at the rest of this file!
