phy: rockchip: usbdp: Use guard functions for mutex

Convert the driver to use guard functions for mutex handling as
a small cleanup. There is a small functional change in the DP PHY
power up function, which no longer sleeps if the internal powerup
code returns an error.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but rk_udphy_dp_phy_configure()
accesses shared PHY state without holding udphy->mutex.

Could this create a data race with Type-C orientation changes?

The function iterates over the udphy->dp_lane_sel array and writes to the
hardware PHY registers based on the mapped lanes:

    for (i = 0; i < udphy->lanes; i++) {
        lane = udphy->dp_lane_sel[i];
        switch (udphy->link_rate) {
        ...

Because phy_configure is called by the DRM bridge without udphy->mutex held,
and concurrent Type-C orientation switch events handled in
rk_udphy_orien_sw_set() hold udphy->mutex while modifying udphy->dp_lane_sel
and udphy->lane_mux_sel, they might run at the same time.

If a cable is flipped exactly during a display bring-up, could this cause a
torn read that applies settings to the same lane twice while omitting others,
leaving the hardware incorrectly configured and DP alt mode output broken?
