Subject: powerpc/pseries: Fix parent_dn reference leak in add_dt_node()

From: Tyrel Datwyler <[email protected]>

commit b537ca6fede69a281dc524983e5e633d79a10a08 upstream.

A reference to the parent device node is held by add_dt_node() for the node to be added. If the call to dlpar_configure_connector() fails add_dt_node() returns ENOENT and that reference is not freed.

Add a call to of_node_put(parent_dn) prior to bailing out after a failed dlpar_configure_connector() call.

Fixes 8d5ff320766f ("powerpc/pseries: Make dlpar_configure_connector parent node aware")
