Subject: 11.89.4; Integration of pdf-tools lazy loading

Hello,

I was not really sure if this qualifies as a bug but decided to 
post it here anyway.

There seems to be an issue when lazy loading auctex and pdf-tools.

tex.el uses (unless (featurep 'pdf-tools)) at 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/tree/tex.el#n1265 to 
check if pdf-tools is installed. This does not work if pdf-tools 
is loaded with e.g. use-package and the :defer flag set to t.  

I've worked around that 
(https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/6365) by defining my 
own function which omits the (featurep) check and it works fine so 
this might be something to consider for auctex. 

Best,
Christoph
