Actaully, I think we can do that right away.

Subject: PM / Runtime: Remove idle notification after failing suspend
If runtime suspend of a device fails returning -EAGAIN or -EBUSY,
which means that it's safe to try to suspend it again, the PM core
runs the runtime idle helper function for it. Unfortunately this may
lead to problems, for example for PCI devices whose drivers don't
implement the ->runtime_idle() callback, because in that case the
PCI bus type's ->runtime_idle() always calls pm_runtime_suspend()
for the given device. Thus, if it is automatically called by a
driver's ->runtime_suspend() returning -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, it will
cause the suspend to happen again possibly causing a busy loop to
appear. To avoid that, remove the idle notification after failing
runtime suspend of a device altogether and let the callers of
pm_runtime_suspend() repeat the operation if need be.
