The 2 patches will migrate SCSI drivers to use the pm callbacks defined
in dev_pm_ops as pm_message is deprecated and should not be used by driver.
Bus level callback is changed to use callbacks defined in dev_pm_ops when
needed and sd's pm callback is updated to use what are defined in dev_pm_ops.

Use of pm_message_t is deprecated and device driver is not supposed
to use that. This patch tries to migrate the SCSI bus level pm callbacks
to call device's pm callbacks defined in its driver's dev_pm_ops.
NO logic changes in scsi_pm.c, a new function called run_dev_callback is
added, which will choose the proper callback for the device based on the
mesg param passed in and then call that chosen callback function with
the help of pm generic function APIs. So run_dev_callback will be used
to replace the previous drv->suspend/drv->resume call.
Since only sd has implemented drv->suspend/drv->resume, and I'll update
sd driver to use the new callbacks in the following patch, there is no
need to fallback to call drv->suspend/drv->resume if dev_pm_ops is NULL.

Update sd driver to use the callbacks defined in dev_pm_ops.
sd_freeze is NULL, the bus level callback has taken care of quiescing
the device so there should be nothing needs to be done here.
Consequently, sd_thaw is not needed here either.
Both suspend and poweroff shares the same routine sd_suspend, which will
sync flush and then stop the drive, this is the same as before.
sd_runtime_suspend also uses sd_suspend, so when a scsi disk is runtime
suspended, it will be placed to stopped power state.

I'm sorry, but this is a really ugly patch.

This is just dumb. Do the parts that depend on the event type here, in
these routines, instead of using a big "switch" statement somewhere
else. For example, have these routines figure out which callback
routine or generic routine to use, and pass that pointer to
scsi_bus_{suspend,resume}_common() instead of the PMSG_* argument.
One thing may help simplify the conversion (you can do this in a
separate patch). Linus's current git tree contains a new commit
88d26136a256576e444db312179e17af6dd0ea87 (PM: Prevent runtime suspend
during system resume) which makes some of the code in scsi_pm.c
unnecessary. The following two commits can now be reverted:
33a2285d96b5e7b9500612ec623bf4313397bb53
[SCSI] scsi_pm: set device runtime state before parent suspended
28fd00d42cca178638f51c08efa986a777c24a4b
[SCSI] runtime resume parent for child's system-resume
This will reduce the amount of code you need to worry about.

This is not the same as before. The existing code does not spin down
the disk during runtime suspend.
Now maybe it should -- I don't know. The point is that this patch
makes two separate changes, which is generally not a good idea.
