[PATCH 04/18] software_node: Enforce parent before child ordering of nodes array for software_node_register_nodes()

[Daniel Scally]

Registering software_nodes with the .parent member set to point to a
currently unregistered software_node has the potential for problems,
so enforce parent -> child ordering in arrays passed to this function.
