pm_runtime_force_suspend() cannot be used with DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND, so
note this in the kerneldoc.

If DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND is set and the PM core cannot skip system resume
it will call pm_runtime_active() on the driver. This can lead to an
inconsistent state where:

  pm_runtime_force_suspend() called ->runtime_suspend

but

  device_resume_noirq() called pm_runtime_set_active()

This leaves the driver actually suspended but marked as active.

Applied as 6.3 material, thanks!
