cxl/hdm: Fix DPA reservation vs cxl_endpoint_decoder lifetime

After adding support for emulating platform firmware established DPA
reservations, the cxl-topology.sh [1] unit test started crashing with
the following signature:

 general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6bc3: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
 [..]
 RIP: 0010:to_cxl_port+0x8/0x60 [cxl_core]
 [..]
 Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  __cxl_dpa_release+0x1b/0xd0 [cxl_core]
  cxl_dpa_release+0x1d/0x30 [cxl_core]
  release_nodes+0x63/0x90
  devres_release_all+0x88/0xc0

...i.e. a use after free of a 'struct cxl_endpoint_decoder' object. This
results from the ordering of init_hdm_decoder() before add_hdm_decoder()
where, at release time, the decoder is unregistered and released before
the DPA reservation.

Fix this by extending the life of the object until all DPA reservations
have been released which also preserves platform decoder settings being
settled by the time the decoder is published in sysfs (KOBJ_ADD time).

Note that the @len == 0 case in __cxl_dpa_reserve() is avoided in
practice as this function is only called for committed decoders and new
non-zero DPA allocations.
