[PATCH 6/8] wifi: ath12k: migrate firmware loading to qcom_mdt_pas_load() and qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset()

ath12k_ahb_power_up() and ath12k_ahb_load_auth_shared_fw() call
qcom_mdt_load() for SCM-authenticated paths and then
qcom_pas_auth_and_reset() which skips the shmbridge prepare step
required before TrustZone authentication.

Replace `qcom_mdt_load()` with `devm_qcom_pas_context_alloc()` and
`qcom_mdt_pas_load()` in both call sites. In `ath12k_ahb_power_up()` the
PAS context was allocated inside the first `scm_auth_enabled` block; hoist
it to function scope so it remains visible at the authentication step in
the second `scm_auth_enabled` block, then replace
`qcom_pas_auth_and_reset()` with `qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset()`.

The non-SCM-authenticated fw2 path and no-auth path retain their existing
qcom_mdt_load_no_init() calls with the persistent mem_region mapping.
