[ Upstream commit e1dccb485c2876ac1318f36ccc0155416c633a48 ]

pwrseq_power_on() calls pwrseq_unit_disable() when the
post_enable callback fails. However, this call is outside the
scoped_guard(mutex, &pwrseq->state_lock) block that ends.

pwrseq_unit_disable() has lockdep_assert_held(&pwrseq->state_lock),
which will fail when called from this error path.

Add the scoped_guard block to cover the post_enable callback and its
error handling to ensure the lock is held when pwrseq_unit_disable() is
called.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The power sequencing core was introduced in v6.11. So this fix is
relevant for stable trees v6.11.y and later (6.12.y, 6.13.y, etc.).

### 8. SELF-CONTAINEDNESS

This is a completely self-contained fix. It doesn't depend on any other
patches. It simply wraps two existing lines of code with the appropriate
lock scope.

### VERDICT

**Meets stable criteria:**
- **Obviously correct**: Yes — the lock is required (enforced by
  `lockdep_assert_held`), and it was missing.
- **Fixes a real bug**: Yes — lockdep assertion failure and potential
  race condition.
- **Small and contained**: Yes — 6 lines changed in 1 file.
- **No new features**: Correct — purely a locking fix.
- **Low regression risk**: Adding a lock that was already required by
  the callee.

The fix is small, surgical, obviously correct, and fixes a real locking
bug that would trigger lockdep warnings and could lead to race
conditions. It meets all stable kernel criteria.

**YES**
