Recent changes to the PM core allows ->runtime_suspend|resume callbacks to
be unassigned.

In the earlier behaviour the PM core would return -ENOSYS, when trying to
runtime resume a device, for example. Let's update the documentation to
clarify this.

Changes in v4:
        - This time, really, fix spelling and further clarified the behaviour,
	according to comments from Alan.

I don't know what happened before.  Maybe the terminal window got 
resized without me noticing, so the lines looked too long when they 
actually weren't.
