[PATCH v2] pmdomain: imx: Fix reference count leak in imx_gpc_probe()

of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
we should use the __free() attribute to manage the pgc_node reference.
This ensures automatic of_node_put() cleanup when pgc_node goes out of
scope, eliminating the need for explicit error handling paths and
avoiding reference count leaks.
Fixes: 721cabf6c660 ("soc: imx: move PGC handling to a new GPC driver")
