The cadence-plat driver has a single platform driver that can be built-in
or a loadable module, but it calls two separate backend drivers depending
on whether it is a host or endpoint.

If one of the mode is build as built-in and another as loadable module,
we end up with a situation where the built-in pcie-cadence-plat driver
tries to call the modular host or endpoint driver, which causes a link
failure:

  ld: error: undefined symbol: cdns_pcie_ep_setup
  >>> referenced by pcie-cadence-plat.c
  >>>               drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence-plat.o:(cdns_plat_pcie_probe) in archive vmlinux.a

  ld: error: undefined symbol: cdns_pcie_host_setup
  >>> referenced by pcie-cadence-plat.c
  >>>               drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence-plat.o:(cdns_plat_pcie_probe) in archive vmlinux.a

Fix this by moving the 'select' of PCIE_CADENCE_HOST and PCIE_CADENCE_EP
from the individual PLAT_HOST/PLAT_EP symbols into the common PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT
symbol, conditioned on which backends (modes) are enabled.
