[PATCH] i2c: busses: Fix a reference count leak.

[PATCH] i2c: busses: Fix a reference count leak.

[wu000273]

From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@umn.edu>

pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the runtime PM usage counter even
when it returns an error code. Thus call pm_runtime_put_noidle()
if pm_runtime_get_sync() fails.

Fixes: 13d6eb20fc79 ("i2c: imx-lpi2c: add runtime pm support")

I started a seperate thread:

Still, on-going discussion if the proper fix is to remove the error
check.
