This covers all places where power.usage_count might have changed.
If atomic_dec_and_test() decrements usage_count but not to zero,
the new value will be traced in rpm_idle(). But if the value drops to
zero, then we need to trace it explicitly to be able to have all changes
accounted for in the trace.

I actually used this patch to track down why USB storage device was
not autosuspending correctly.
