Fix a memory leak resulting from memory allocation in safe_name().
This patch fixes all call sites of safe_name().
Mathieu Malaterre reported the memory leak on boot:
On my PowerMac device-tree would generate a duplicate name:
[ 0.023043] device-tree: Duplicate name in PowerPC,G4@0, renamed to "l2-cache#1"
in this case a newly allocated name is generated by `safe_name`. However
in this case it is never deallocated.
The bug was found using kmemleak reported as:
unreferenced object 0xdf532e60 (size 32):
comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294892300 (age 1993.532s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
6c 32 2d 63 61 63 68 65 23 31 00 dd e4 dd 1e c2 l2-cache#1......
