[PATCH] dmaengine: ste_dma40: fix autosuspend cleanup on probe failure

[Guangshuo Li]

d40_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but its error path does
not call the matching pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() before
disabling runtime PM.

If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during cleanup, this reference is not dropped and usage_count remains
unbalanced.

Add the missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call to the probe
failure path before disabling runtime PM.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
