Subject: [PATCH 1/3] firmware: arm_sdei: fix leaked of_node references

In sdei_present_dt function, fw_np is obtained by calling
of_find_node_by_name(), np is obtained by calling
of_find_matching_node(), and the reference counts of those
two device_nodes, fw_np and np, are increased.
But when the function exits, only of_node_put is called on np,
and fw_np's reference count is leaked.

Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings:
./drivers/firmware/arm_sdei.c:1088:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 1082, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
./drivers/firmware/arm_sdei.c:1091:1-7: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 1082, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
