This change isn't needed.  The fact that mark_quiesced() is called for the 
interface means that the pm_usage_cnt won't be used for anything -- until 
another driver is probed.

After all, if no driver is bound to the interface then the pm_usage_cnt 
value is meaningless.  By definition, the interface cannot be in use.
