Subject: [PATCH] spi: cadence-qspi: Fix exec_mem_op error handling

cqspi_exec_mem_op() increments the runtime PM usage counter before all
refcount checks are performed. If one of these checks fails, the function
returns without dropping the PM reference.

Move the pm_runtime_resume_and_get() call after the refcount checks so
that runtime PM is only acquired when the operation can proceed and
drop the inflight_ops refcount if the PM resume fails.
