drm/i915: Fix runtime PM for LPE audio

Not calling pm_runtime_enable() means that runtime PM can't be
enabled at all via sysfs. So we definitely need to call it
from somewhere.

Calling it from the driver seems like a bad idea because it
would have to be paired with a pm_runtime_disable() at driver
unload time, otherwise the core gets upset. Also if there's
no LPE audio driver loaded then we couldn't runtime suspend
i915 either.

So it looks like a better plan is to call it from i915 when
we register the platform device. That seems to match how
pci generally does things. I cargo culted the
pm_runtime_forbid() and pm_runtime_set_active() calls from
pci as well.

The exposed runtime PM API is massive an thorougly misleading, so
I don't actually know if this is how you're supposed to use the API
or not. But it seems to work. I can now runtime suspend i915 again
with or without the LPE audio driver loaded, and reloading the
LPE audio driver also seems to work.

Note that powertop won't auto-tune runtime PM fo...
