nouveau_drm_device_init() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but
nouveau_drm_device_fini() does not call the matching
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend().

If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during teardown, this reference is not dropped and usage_count remains
unbalanced.

The documentation for pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() also notes that it
is important to undo it with pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() at
driver exit time, unless runtime PM was initially enabled with
devm_pm_runtime_enable().

Add the missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call to the common
device teardown path.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
