[PATCH v2 1/3] PM/pm_runtime: move autosuspend on hrtimer

pm runtime uses the timer infrastructure for autosuspend. This implies that
the minimum time before autosuspending a device is in the range
of 1 tick included to 2 ticks excluded
-On arm64 this means between 4ms and 8ms with default jiffies configuration
-And on arm, it is between 10ms and 20ms

These values are quite high for embedded system which sometimes wants
duration in the range of 1 ms.

We can move autosuspend on hrtimer to get finer granularity for short
duration and takes advantage of slack to keep some margins and gathers
long timeout in minimum wakeups.

On an arm64 platform that uses 1ms for autosuspending timeout of its GPU,
the power consumption improves by 10% for idle use case with hrtimer.

The latency impact on arm64 hikey octo cores is :
- mark_last_busy: from 1.11 us to 1.25 us
- rpm_suspend: from 15.54 us to 15.38 us
  Only the code path of rpm_suspend that starts hrtimer has been measured

arm64 image (arm64 default defconfig) decreases by around 3KB
with following details:

$ size vmlinux-timer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
12034646	6869268	 386840	19290754	1265a82	vmlinux

$ size vmlinux-hrtimer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
12030550	6870164	 387032	19287746	1264ec2	vmlinux

The latency impact on arm 32bits snowball dual cores is :
- mark_last_busy: from 0.31 us usec to 0.77 us
- rpm_suspend: from 6.83 us to 6.67 usec

The increase of the image for snowball platform that I used for testing
performance impact, is neglictable (244B)

$ size vmlinux-timer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7157961	2119580	 264120	9541661	 91981d	build-ux500/vmlinux

size vmlinux-hrtimer

7157773	2119884	 264248	9541905	 919911	vmlinux-hrtimer

And arm 32bits image (multi_v7_defconfig) increases by around 1.7KB
with following details:

$ size vmlinux-timer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
13304443	6803420	 402768	20510631	138f7a7	vmlinux

$ size vmlinux-hrtimer
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
13304299	6805276	 402768	20512343	138fe57	vmlinux
