It has been like that forever and it's intentional, because it allows
certain pieces of code to do things like

pm_runtime_get_sync(dev);
/* do something regardless of whether or not PM-runtime is enabled for dev */
pm_runtime_put(dev);

So I wouldn't really call it surprising.

Feel free to improve the kerneldoc comment of __pm_runtime_resume(),
although it is clear enough to me, and fix the callers that leak the
refcount.
