bus/mhi/core: Double lock in mhi_device_put() and dev_wake inc/dec

While looking at this file for an unrelated issue, I happen to notice
there is a double locking on mhi_cntrl->pm_lock in the mhi_device_put()
when it gets called from mhi_driver_remove()
The other two calls from mhi_driver_probe() don't hold the pm_lock.
In addition, lock holding while dev_wake updates is inconsistent.
dev_wake gets incremented and decremented without holding pm_lock in
mhi_device_get(), mhi_device_get_sync() and mhi_device_put().
Exception are when mhi_device_put() is called from mhi_driver_remove().
The following commit is where all this code is added.

It appears to be real problem. I don't have a way to test this driver,
hence reaching out to let you know about my findings.
thanks,
