[RFC][PATCH 4/4] PM: Permit registrarion of parentless devices during system suspend

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

The registration of a new parentless device during system suspend
will not lead to any complications affecting the PM core (the device
will be effectively seen after the subsequent resume has completed),
so remove the code used for detection of such events.
