PM: Fix potential issue with failing asynchronous suspend



There is a potential issue with the asynchronous suspend code that
a device driver suspending asynchronously may not notice that it
should back off.  There are two failing scenarions, (1) when the
driver is waiting for a driver suspending synchronously to complete
and that second driver returns error code, in which case async_error
won't be set and the waiting driver will continue suspending and (2)
after the driver has called device_pm_wait_for_dev() and the waited
for driver returns error code, in which case the caller of
device_pm_wait_for_dev() will not know that there was an error and
will continue suspending.

To fix this issue make __device_suspend() set async_error, so
async_suspend() doesn't need to set it any more, and make
device_pm_wait_for_dev() return async_error, so that its callers
can check whether or not they should continue suspending.

No more changes are necessary, since device_pm_wait_for_dev() is
not used by any drivers' suspend routines.
