of/overlay: add missing of_node_put 

Author: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

for_each_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so
a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr):

// 
@@
expression root,e;
local idexpression child;
@@

 for_each_child_of_node(root, child) {
   ... when != of_node_put(child)
       when != e = child
(
   return child;
|
+  of_node_put(child);
?  return ...;
)
   ...
 }
//
