PM: sleep: Do not wait on SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links

Device links with DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY should not affect system
suspend and resume, and functions like device_reorder_to_tail() and
device_link_add() don't try to reorder the consumers with that flag.

However, dpm_wait_for_consumers() and dpm_wait_for_suppliers() don't
check thas flag before triggering dpm_wait(), leading to potential hang
during suspend/resume.

This can be reproduced on MT8186 Corsola Chromebook with devicetree like:

usb-a-connector {
        compatible = "usb-a-connector";
        port {
                usb_a_con: endpoint {
                        remote-endpoint = <&usb_hs>;
                };
        };
};

usb_host {
        compatible = "mediatek,mt8186-xhci", "mediatek,mtk-xhci";
        port {
                usb_hs: endpoint {
                        remote-endpoint = <&usb_a_con>;
                };
        };
};

In this case, the two nodes form a cycle and a SYNC_STATE_ONLY devlink
between usb_host (supplier) and usb-a-connector (consumer) is created.

Address this by exporting device_link_flag_is_sync_state_only() and
making dpm_wait_for_consumers() and dpm_wait_for_suppliers() use it
when deciding if dpm_wait() should be called.
