Subject: [PATCH 3.16 030/204] powerpc/pseries: Fix parent_dn reference
 leak in add_dt_node()

3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b537ca6fede69a281dc524983e5e633d79a10a08 upstream.

A reference to the parent device node is held by add_dt_node() for the
node to be added. If the call to dlpar_configure_connector() fails
add_dt_node() returns ENOENT and that reference is not freed.

Add a call to of_node_put(parent_dn) prior to bailing out after a
failed dlpar_configure_connector() call.

Fixes: 8d5ff320766f ("powerpc/pseries: Make dlpar_configure_connector parent node aware")
