dmaengine: qcom: hidma: fix autosuspend cleanup during teardown

This patch fixes unbalanced usage counts during runtime PM teardown in the
Qualcomm HIDMA driver. It adds missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() calls
to both the probe failure path and the device removal path.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the probe error path have a
use-after-free risk for the non-MSI interrupt?

Looking at the uninit path just above this in hidma_probe():

drivers/dma/qcom/hidma.c:hidma_probe() {
...
uninit:
	if (msi)
		hidma_free_msis(dmadev);

	hidma_ll_uninit(dmadev->lldev);
...
}

If this is not an MSI interrupt, it remains active when hidma_ll_uninit()
is called because it was registered with devm_request_irq().

The hidma_ll_uninit() function calls tasklet_kill(&lldev->task) while
the hardware interrupt is still enabled.

If an interrupt fires during this window, the ISR hidma_ll_inthandler()
can call hidma_post_completed(), which reschedules the tasklet via
tasklet_schedule(&lldev->task). 

Since devres will eventually free the IRQ and the lldev memory, could
the re-scheduled tasklet remain queued and execute later, dereferencing
the freed lldev pointer? 

Should the non-MSI interrupt be explicitly freed using devm_free_irq()
before calling hidma_ll_uninit()?
