[PATCH V2 4/8] i3c: master: Ensure Hot-Join operations are stopped on shutdown

System shutdown invokes each device's bus shutdown callback to quiesce
hardware, but the I3C bus type does not currently implement one.  As a
result, on shutdown the controller's Hot-Join work and any in-flight
i3c_master_do_daa() can keep running (or be newly triggered) while the
rest of the system is being torn down.

A similar window exists at i3c_master_unregister() time: cancel_work_sync()
on hj_work prevents queued work from completing, but does not stop a
fresh Hot-Join IBI from re-queueing the worker, nor a concurrent sysfs
writer from toggling Hot-Join via i3c_set_hotjoin().

Introduce a single "shutting down" gate in the I3C core, set under the
bus maintenance lock so it is observed by any in-progress DAA path
before pending work is cancelled.  Install an i3c_bus_type shutdown
callback that engages this gate for master devices during system
shutdown, and use the same gate in i3c_master_unregister() so both
paths get identical guarantees.

Once the gate is engaged, the Hot-Join worker, i3c_master_do_daa_ext()
and i3c_set_hotjoin() all bail out cleanly, so Hot-Join IBIs that race
with shutdown become no-ops, direct DAA callers see -ENODEV, and sysfs
writers can no longer re-enable Hot-Join through ops->enable_hotjoin()
while the controller is going away.

No functional change for the steady-state runtime path; the new checks
only take effect once the controller has been marked as shutting down.

Note, this patch depends on patch "i3c: master: Consolidate Hot-Join DAA
work in the core".
