From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>
Add checks:
- attempted kfree due to refcount reaching zero before overlay
is removed
- properties linked to an overlay node when the node is removed
- node refcount > one during node removal in a changeset destroy,
if the node was created by the changeset
After applying this patch, several validation warnings will be
reported from the devicetree unittest during boot due to
pre-existing devicetree bugs. The warnings will be similar to:
OF: ERROR: of_node_release() overlay node /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest11/test-unittest111 contains unexpected properties
OF: ERROR: memory leak - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /testcase-data-2/substation@100/hvac-medium-2 with refcount 2
