Couple of drivers in-tree, like state, depend on aliases for correct
operation. If state node is added via overlay and oftree -p is called,
driver would start probing, but fail because aliases weren't reloaded.
Fix this corner case by always just calling of_alias_scan() on every
successful of_overlay_apply_tree to the live tree. No functional change
yet, as the only user of this function is overlay application code of
ARM QEMU machine, which happens at pure_initcall level, making
of_alias_scan a no-op. Follow-up commit will move overlay application to
happen after device tree is registered, necessitating this change.
