Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix locking when calling of_get_next_available_child()

of_get_next_available_child() obtains the devtree_lock and then calls
of_device_is_available() which also attempts to claim the lock. This is
obviously incorrect and causes a deadlock on boot. Fix issue by adding
an variant of of_device_is_available() which doesn't obtain the lock.
