Subject: [PATCH] of: fix of_update_property()

The of_update_property() is intent to update a property in a node
and if the property does not exist, will add it to the node.

The second search of the property is possibly won't be found, that
maybe removed by other thread just before the second search begain,
if so just retry it.
