Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ARM: hisi: handle of_iomap and fix missing of_node_put

Relying on an unchecked of_iomap() which can return NULL is problematic
here, an explicit check seems mandatory. Also the call to
of_find_compatible_node() returns a device node with refcount incremented
therefor an explicit of_node_put() is needed here.

Fixes: commit 22bae4290457 ("ARM: hi3xxx: add hotplug support")
---

Problem found by an experimental coccinelle script

The way  id  is used is a bit redundant with the function return - not
really clear if this "double indication" is intentional or just happened ?
Also note that hi3xxx_hotplug_init probably should be bool as that is how
it is being used - the error return is not actually interpreted beyond
detection of failure in its only call site hi3xxx_set_cpu().

Patch was compile tested with: hisi_defconfig (implies CONFIG_SMP=y)

Patch is against 4.18-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20180712)
