Subject: [PATCH 1/2] of: overlay: fix properties memory leak

No changeset entries are created for #address-cells and #size-cells
properties, but the duplicated properies are never freed.  This results
in a memory leak which is detected by kmemleak:

 unreferenced object 0x85887180 (size 64):
   backtrace:
     kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1fb/0x1fc
     __of_prop_dup+0x25/0x7c
     add_changeset_property+0x17f/0x370
     build_changeset_next_level+0x29/0x20c
     of_overlay_fdt_apply+0x32b/0x6b4
     ...

Fixes: 6f75118800acf77f8 ("of: overlay: validate overlay properties #address-cells and #size-cells")
