Add `__free` function attribute to `ap` and `match` pointer
initialisations which ensure that the pointers are freed as soon as they
go out of scope, thus removing the need to manually free them using
`of_node_put`.

This also removes the need for the `goto` statement and the `rc`
variable.

Tested using a qemu x86_64 virtual machine.

Nice cleanup.

If we used c++, that would be even nicer; like:
Destroyer ap(of_find_node_by_path("/aliases"));

But we don't :P. OTOH. can't we achieve that with macro-fu and typeof() magic? Perhaps not really exactly the above, but something like
  Destroyer(ap, of_find_node_by_path("/aliases"));
maybe?
