[PATCH v5] of: dynamic: fix memory leak related to properties of __of_node_dup

[Lixin Wang]

If a node with no properties is dynamically added, then a property is
dynamically added to the node, then the property is dynamically removed,
the result will be node->properties == NULL and node->deadprops != NULL.

Add a separate function to release the properties in both lists.

 v4 -> v5:
 * fix the bug in v4, that the prop->next should be saved before release
   the prop.
