Until now the scsi mid-layer forbids runtime suspend till userspace
enables it. This is mainly to quarantine some disks with broken
runtime power management or have high latencies executing suspend
resume callbacks. If the userspace doesn't enable the runtime suspend
the underlying hardware will be always on even when it is not doing
any useful work and thus wasting power.
Some low-level drivers for the controllers can efficiently use runtime
power management to reduce power consumption and improve battery life.
Allow runtime suspend parameters override within the LLD itself
instead of waiting for userspace to control the power management.
