Subject: [PATCH -next] cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token

fw_token is used for DT/ACPI systems to identify CPUs sharing caches.
For DT based systems, fw_token is set to a pointer to a DT node.

commit ("cacheinfo: Decrement refcount in cache_setup_of_node()")
doesn't increment the refcount of fw_token anymore in
cache_setup_of_node(). fw_token is indeed used as a token and not
as a (struct device_node*), so no reference to fw_token should be
kept.

However, [1] is triggered when hotplugging a CPU multiple times
since cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() decrements the refcount to
fw_token at each CPU unplugging, eventually reaching 0.

Remove of_node_put() for fw_token in cache_shared_cpu_map_remove().
