Subject: [PATCH] drm/panthor: Fix race with suspend during unplug

There is a race between panthor_device_unplug() and
panthor_device_suspend() which can lead to IRQ handlers running on a
powered down GPU. This is how it can happen:
- unplug routine calls drm_dev_unplug()
- panthor_device_suspend() can now execute, and will skip a lot of
  important work because the device is currently marked as unplugged.
- IRQs will remain active in this case and IRQ handlers can therefore
  try to access a powered down GPU.

The fix is simply to take the PM ref in panthor_device_unplug() a
little bit earlier, before drm_dev_unplug().
