[PATCH 2/2] PM / Domains: Avoid infinite loops in attach/detach code

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

If pm_genpd_{add,remove}_device() keeps on failing with -EAGAIN, we end
up with an infinite loop in genpd_dev_pm_{at,de}tach().

This may happen due to a genpd.prepared_count imbalance.  This is a bug
elsewhere, but it will result in a system lock up, possibly during
reboot of an otherwise functioning system.

To avoid this, put a limit on the maximum number of loop iterations,
including a simple back-off mechanism.  If the limit is reached, the
operation will just fail.  An error message is already printed.
