Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 225/251] powerpc/pseries: Fix possible leaked device node reference

3.19.8-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 2222ce0fbbcc4ebfa9995c8d23d72c8239ad712c upstream.

Failure return from dlpar_configure_connector when dlpar adding cpus
results in leaking references to the cpus parent device node. Move the
call to of_node_put() prior to checking the result of
dlpar_configure_connector.

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