Subject: lib/vsprintf: Fix %pfwf when current node refcount == 0

From: Herve Codina <herve.codina@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream.

A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the
pr_debug() call:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110
  Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  ...
  of_node_get+0x1e/0x30
  of_fwnode_get+0x28/0x40
  fwnode_full_name_string+0x34/0x90
  fwnode_string+0xdb/0x140
  ...
  vsnprintf+0x17b/0x630
  ...
  __fwnode_link_del+0x25/0xa0
  fwnode_links_purge+0x39/0xb0
  of_node_release+0xd9/0x180
  ...

Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release()
is called because the of_node refcount reached 0.
>From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to
a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name.
The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP.

To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its
parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved.

In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is
being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.
