In "Device Tree powered" systems, platform devices are usually
massively populated with of_platform_populate() call, executed
at some level of initcalls, either by generic architecture
or by platform-specific code.
There are situations though where certain devices must be
created (and bound with drivers) before all the others.
This presents a challenge, as devices created explicitly
would be created again by of_platform_populate().
This patch tries to solve that issue in a generic way,
adding a "populated" flag for a DT node description.
Once set, this device will never be created again via
of_* API, so of_platform_populate() will skip such nodes
(and its children) in a similar way to the non-available
ones.

Changes since v1:
- added of_node_check_and_set_flag()... (atomic test and set)
- ... used it to atomically mark a node...
- ... clearing the bit on error path.
