FYI... The commit below fixes this mainline (merged as of v3.1-rc4).

commit 02b26774afebb2d62695ba3230319d70d8c6cc2d
Author: Kevin Hilman <khilman@ti.com>

PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context

Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks. This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.

This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.

However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.

Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.
