Subject: [PATCH v2 12/15] ARM: vexpress: fix a leaked reference by adding missing of_node_put

The call to of_get_next_child returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last
usage.

Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings:
./arch/arm/mach-vexpress/dcscb.c:150:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 145, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
./arch/arm/mach-vexpress/dcscb.c:160:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 145, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
./arch/arm/mach-vexpress/dcscb.c:171:1-7: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 145, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
