[PATCH v2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Drop ITS node reference on its_of_probe() errors

its_of_probe() walks the ITS nodes with of_find_matching_node(), which
drops the reference on the previous node and returns the next one with
its reference count raised. The loops are balanced when they run to the
end, but the three error returns (a failed its_reset_one(), a failed
its_node_init() and a failed its_probe_one()) leave with the current
node still referenced.
Declare the iterator in each loop with __free(device_node), so that the
reference is dropped whichever way the loop is left.

v2:
- Use __free(device_node) on the loop iterators instead of adding
of_node_put() to each error return (Marc).
- Rebased on v7.4-rc1.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260923165447.619477-1-oss.patchbox@gmail.com
Compile-tested only (arm64 defconfig, W=1).
