drm/panfrost: Fix PM usage_count mishandling

This commit addresses a PM usage_count mishandling issue during device probe
and unplug. It adds balanced PM get/put calls to prevent devices from
staying powered on indefinitely or triggering constant devfreq OPP transition
notifications.

[Severity: High]
Does dropping the usage count before pm_runtime_disable() create a race
condition where the suspend callback can run and disable clocks before
hardware shutdown?

Because the usage count is dropped early, a concurrent PM event could trigger
the suspend callback, disabling clocks. Then, panfrost_device_fini() calls
panfrost_gpu_fini() which writes to MMIO registers. Could writing to
unclocked registers on ARM SoCs cause fatal bus errors or panics?

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does using drm_dev_unregister() instead of
drm_dev_unplug() allow subsequent ioctls to access freed driver resources?

Because drm_dev_unregister() removes the device from sysfs but does not set
the dev->unplugged flag, the DRM core (drm_ioctl_kernel) does not block
ioctls from userspace processes that already hold an open file descriptor.

Since panfrost_remove() proceeds to call panfrost_device_fini() which
destroys critical structures (job manager, MMU contexts, shrinker lists) and
powers down hardware, could a user issuing an ioctl during or after driver
unbind via sysfs access freed structures and unmapped MMIO regions, resulting
in a use-after-free?

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Severity: High]
Does placing pm_runtime_put_noidle() and pm_runtime_disable() after
panfrost_device_fini() create a window where runtime PM can access freed
structures?

pm_runtime_put_noidle() drops the PM usage count to 0. At this point, a
concurrent PM event (e.g., userspace writing to /sys/.../power/control) can
trigger panfrost_device_runtime_suspend() before pm_runtime_disable()
executes.

Since panfrost_device_fini() has already destroyed driver structures like the
job manager, would the suspend callback access freed memory (like checking
panfrost_jm_is_idle), causing a use-after-free?
