[PATCH v5 6/9] of/overlay: don't create "//" paths for fragments targeting the root

[Abdurrahman Hussain]

dup_and_fixup_symbol_prop() rewrites a symbol value by replacing its
"/fragment/__overlay__" prefix with the fragment's target path. When
the fragment targets the root node the target path is "/" and the
result starts with "//", which __of_find_node_by_full_path() cannot
resolve: symbols pointing into such fragments silently stop
resolving.

Drop the target path when it is the root.
