drm/ast: Do not enable PCI resources multiple times

Hi,
I have tested this patch on my x86-64(i3-8100, H110 D4L board) + ast2400
discrete BMC card just now,
drm/ast still works on normal case.
But originally this function is called in ast_post_gpu() function.
ast_post_gpu() doesn't happen on my test case.
I know something about the POST (Power On Self Test),
In the past, my mips and loongarch have difficulty to run x86 VBIOS code.
So part of my radeon and amdgpu gpu card will just hang(stall) at the
bios/vbios boot stage.
When we debugging, we hasty solve this problem by disabling (comment out)
the VBIOS part initialization code of the BIOS.
The results is that the screen will not light-up during the boot stage.
We relay the kernel-space drivers (drm/radeon and drm/amdgpu) to
initialize the GPU.
In this case, (drm/radeon and drm/amdgpu) driver log(dmesg) will print :
"need POST ...".
So, from my past experience, I think the "need POST" will only happens
when there no firmware support for a specific machine + BMC combination.
But this is not a normal case.
So, I think we probably could try this, if there no objections from
experienced reviewers.
