[PATCH v5 4/5] phy: qcom: qmp-usb-legacy: Prevent unnecessary PM runtime suspend at boot

Runtime PM has to be enabled before creating the PHY, since phy_create()
only enables runtime PM on the PHY device if it is already enabled on
this parent device. This opens a small window where the device can be
runtime suspended after pm_runtime_enable() and before the later
pm_runtime_forbid(), causing an unnecessary suspend/resume cycle while
the PHY is not yet registered.

Take a runtime PM usage reference with pm_runtime_get_noresume() before
enabling runtime PM and release it once the PHY has been created to
prevent the device from being runtime suspended during that window.
