The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on return in
functions starfive_wdt_probe.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment pm usage counter
even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a
reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
Fixes: db728ea9c7be ("drivers: watchdog: Add StarFive Watchdog driver")
