drm/msm/dp: Avoid unpowered AUX xfers that caused crashes

If you happened to try to access `/dev/drm_dp_aux` devices provided by
the MSM DP AUX driver too early at bootup you could go boom. Let's
avoid that by only allowing AUX transfers when the controller is
powered up.

Specifically the crash that was seen (on Chrome OS 5.4 tree with
relevant backports):
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt
  CPU: 0 PID: 3131 Comm: fwupd Not tainted 5.4.144-16620-g28af11b73efb #1

I did a little bit of tracing and found that:
* We register the AUX device very early at bootup.
* Power isn't actually turned on for my system until
  hpd_event_thread() -> dp_display_host_init() -> dp_power_init()
* You can see that dp_power_init() calls dp_aux_init() which is where
  we start allowing AUX channel requests to go through.

In general this patch is a bit of a bandaid but at least it gets us
out of the current state where userspace acting at the wrong time can
fully crash the system.
* I think the more proper fix (which requires quite a bit more
  changes) is to power stuff on while an AUX transfer is
  happening. This is like the solution we did for ti-sn65dsi86. This
  might be required for us to move to populating the panel via the
  DP-AUX bus.
* Another fix considered was to dynamically register / unregister. I
  tried that at <https://crrev.com/c/3169431/3> but it got
  ugly. Currently there's a bug where the pm_runtime() state isn't
  tracked properly and that causes us to just keep registering more
  and more.
