[RFC] PM / QoS: Decouple request alloc from dev_pm_qos_mtx (alternative solution)

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

Similar to the previous patch, move the allocation out from under
dev_pm_qos_mtx, by speculatively doing the allocation and handle
any race after acquiring dev_pm_qos_mtx by freeing the redundant
allocation.

This is an alternative to https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/551417/?series=115028&rev=4

So, this does _slightly_ change error paths, for ex
dev_pm_qos_update_user_latency_tolerance() will now allocate
dev->power.qos in some error cases.  But this seems harmless?
A slightly more complicated version of this could conserve the
previous error path behavior, but I figured I'd try the simpler
thing first.
