[PATCH v3] soc: samsung: exynos-pmu: fix of_node refcount leak in exynos_get_pmu_regmap()

exynos_get_pmu_regmap() obtains a device_node via of_find_matching_node()
and passes it to exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle(np, NULL). With
propname == NULL the callee uses np directly and does not drop a
reference, so the reference taken by of_find_matching_node() is leaked on
every call -- including on each -EPROBE_DEFER retry of the only in-tree
caller, exynos_retention_init() in the Exynos pinctrl driver.
Annotate np with the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute so the
reference is released when the function returns.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.

Changes in v3:
- Only annotate the np declaration with __free(device_node); leave the
rest of the function body unchanged (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
Changes in v2:
- Use the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute instead of an explicit
of_node_put() and the helper refactor (Krzysztof Kozlowski); dropped
the former patch 2/2.
