[PATCH v2 2/2] of: overlay: Synchronize of_overlay_remove() with the devlink removals

[Herve Codina]

In the following sequence:
  1) of_platform_depopulate()
  2) of_overlay_remove()

During the step 1, devices are destroyed and devlinks are removed.
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but
__of_changeset_entry_destroy() can raise warnings related to missing
of_node_put():
  ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2 ...

Indeed, during the devlink removals performed at step 1, the removal
itself releasing the device (and the attached of_node) is done by a job
queued in a workqueue and so, it is done asynchronously with respect to
function calls.
When the warning is present, of_node_put() will be called but wrongly
too late from the workqueue job.

In order to be sure that any ongoing devlink removals are done before
the of_node destruction, synchronize the of_overlay_remove() with the
devlink removals.
