[LINUX PATCH] serial: xilinx_uartps: fix runtime PM race during probe

pm_runtime_enable() was called with usage_count=0, allowing the PM
core to immediately queue a deferred suspend via pm_runtime_work.
This raced with console write, causing cdns_runtime_suspend to
fire before the port was fully registered.

Hold a reference with pm_runtime_get_noresume() before enabling
runtime PM.
