[PATCH] of: dynamic: fix memory leak related to properties of __of_node_dup

From: alawang
Date: Thu Oct 12 2017 - 21:44:07 EST


It is possible a node was dynamically allocated but without any
property. The properies will be got from devices and added to the
node when devices got connected.
When release this node, all properties of which had been moved to
deadprops.
In this case, the properties in the deadprops list are never
deallocated.
