Patch looks fine in principle, but doesn't seem to be sufficient to fix
the following race:

1. runtime_suspend commences
2. user plugs in a display before the runtime_suspend worker disables
   hotplug interrupts in nouveau_display_fini()
3. hotplug is handled, display is lit up
4. runtime_suspend worker waits for hotplug handler to finish
5. GPU is runtime suspended and the newly plugged in display goes black

The call to pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() has no effect in this situation
because rpm_suspend() doesn't look at the last_busy variable after the
call to rpm_callback().  What's necessary here is that runtime_suspend is
aborted and -EBUSY returned.

Thanks,

Lukas
