[PATCH v1] bus: arm-cci: Drop CPU node reference in cci_ace_init_ports()

cci_ace_init_ports() looks up each possible CPU's node with
of_get_cpu_node(), which returns the node with its reference count
raised, but never releases it: neither when the CPU has no ACE port nor
after the port has been recorded.  Before the commit below the loop used
for_each_child_of_node(), which manages the references itself.

The node is only needed for the port lookup, so drop the reference right
after __cci_ace_get_port().
