Then maybe this disable_depth > 0 case should return something other
than 0. Something new, like -EACCES. That way the caller would
realize something strange was going on but wouldn't have to treat the
situation as an error.

After all, the return value from pm_runtime_get_sync() is documented to
be the error code for the underlying pm_runtime_resume(). It doesn't
refer to the increment operation -- that always succeeds.
