The fixed patch introduced an additional condition to enter the scope
where the 'root' device_node is released (!settings->board_type,
currently 'err'), which avoid decrementing the refcount with a call to
of_node_put() if that second condition is not satisfied.
Move the call to of_node_put() to the point where 'root' is no longer
required to avoid leaking the resource if err is not zero.

Note that a call to of_node_put() on a NULL device_node has no effect,
which simplifies this patch as there is no need to refactor the or
add more conditions.
