Subject: [PATCH v2] software node: balance refcount for managed sw nodes

From: Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@....com>

software_node_notify(), on KOBJ_REMOVE drops the refcount twice on managed
software nodes, thus leading to underflow errors. Balance the refcount by
bumping it in the device_create_managed_software_node() function.

The error [1] was encountered after adding a .shutdown() op to our
fsl-mc-bus driver.

Changes since v1:
 - added Heikki's Reviewed-by: (Thanks!)

Changes since RFC:
 - use software_node_notify(KOBJ_ADD) instead of directly bumping
   refcount (Heikki)
