drm/msm/dpu: count the pending frame before kicking it off

This commit moves the increment of frame_pending in dpu_crtc_commit_kickoff()
to occur before kickoff to prevent event worker races. It also adds a rollback
decrement in the clone mode error path.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this unconditional atomic_dec() bypass the 0-transition check required to
release CRTC bandwidth, causing a bandwidth leak?

If Frame N-1 is executing and Frame N is committed, dpu_crtc_commit_kickoff()
bumps frame_pending to 2. If dpu_crtc_kickoff_clone_mode() fails, it
decrements the count back.

If the hardware interrupt for Frame N-1 fires concurrently and its event worker
runs, it will decrement the count to 1, skipping the
dpu_core_perf_crtc_release_bw() call that requires a 1-to-0 transition.

The error path then blindly decrements the count to 0 with atomic_dec() and
also skips the dpu_core_perf_crtc_release_bw() call, permanently leaking the
allocated bandwidth until the CRTC is fully disabled.
