[PATCH] PM / runtime: Document new pm_runtime_set_suspended constraint

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Mon Jul 24 2017 - 05:54:30 EST


Since commit a8636c89648a ("PM / Runtime: Don't allow to suspend a
device with an active child") it is no longer permitted to set
RPM_SUSPENDED state for a device with active children unless
power.ignore_children is set.

Update the documentation to reflect this.
