It will not print "Device does not support" that power state if that
power state is D0 or D3cold since we have unconditionally set those two
power state's valid flag.

OTOH, what value should we return for a device node that is not power
manageable in acpi_device_set_power when the target state is D0 or D3
cold? The old behavior is to return 0, meanning success without taking
any actual action.

In acpi_bus_set_power, if the device is not power manageable, we will
return -ENODEV; in acpi_dev_pm_full/low_power, we will return 0 as in
the original acpi_device_set_power. So return -EINVAL here is correct?
