driver core: Reject pointless SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links

Browse source 
SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links intentionally allow cycles because cyclic
sync_state() dependencies are valid and necessary.

However a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link where the consumer and the supplier
are the same device is pointless because the device link would be deleted
as soon as the device probes (because it's also the consumer) and won't
affect when the sync_state() callback is called. It's a waste of CPU cycles
and memory to create this device link. So reject any attempts to create
such a device link.

Fixes: 05ef983e0d ("driver core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag")
