Description
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
Sometimes, when the component mat-form-field is initied too fastly, when we use mat-icon with the attribute matPrefix or matSuffix, the mat-label is misplaced only at the init of the entire component.
A possible behavior can be to initialize the mat-form-field with setTimeout at 100ms or more after the component loaded on ngOnInit().
But, when using ReactiveFormsModule, an error (NG01050: formControlName must be used with a parent formGroup directive) can still be present but the forms works **normally.**
### Reproduction
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a mat-form-field
2. Add a mat-label to this one
3. Add a trailling mat-icon with matPrefix or matSuffix
### Expected Behavior
The mat-icon and mat-label must be placed normally, means the icon must be before the mat-label for example.
### Actual Behavior
The label must be placed after the icon for matSuffix but only at init he is misplaced above or below the mat-icon. The mat-label works normally after he is focused.
### Environment
- Angular: Angular 15.0.0
- CDK/Material: 15.2.2
- Browser(s): Brave, Edge
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Windows

Research direction
Start by reproducing the initialization case with Angular Material mat-form-field, mat-label, mat-icon, and matPrefix or matSuffix, including the ReactiveFormsModule scenario described. Inspect the mat-form-field initialization and ngOnInit timing, then verify that the icon and label are positioned correctly on first render without the reported formControlName error.
