of: overlay: rework overlay apply and remove kfree()s

Browse Source 
Fix various kfree() issues related to of_overlay_apply().
  - Double kfree() of fdt and tree when init_overlay_changeset()
    returns an error.
  - free_overlay_changeset() free the root of the unflattened
    overlay (variable tree) instead of the memory that contains
    the unflattened overlay.
  - For the case of a failure during applying an overlay, move kfree()
    of new_fdt and overlay_mem into free_overlay_changeset(), which
    is called by the function that allocated them.
  - For the case of removing an overlay, the kfree() of new_fdt and
    overlay_mem remains in free_overlay_changeset().
  - Check return value of of_fdt_unflatten_tree() for error instead
    of checking the returned value of overlay_root.
  - When storing pointers to allocated objects in ovcs, do so as
    near to the allocation as possible instead of in deeply layered
    function.

More clearly document policy related to lifetime of pointers into
overlay memory.

Double kfree()

of_overlay_remove_all() which will remove every single one in the correct
order.
In addition, there is the option to register notifiers that get called on
There is the option to register notifiers that get called on
overlay operations. See of_overlay_notifier_register/unregister and
enum of_overlay_notify_action for details.
Note that a notifier callback is not supposed to store pointers to a device
tree node or its content beyond OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE corresponding to the
respective node it received.
A notifier callback for OF_OVERLAY_PRE_APPLY, OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY, or
OF_OVERLAY_PRE_REMOVE may store pointers to a device tree node in the overlay
or its content but these pointers must not persist past the notifier callback
for OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE. The memory containing the overlay will be
kfree()ed after OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE notifiers are called. Note that the
memory will be kfree()ed even if the notifier for OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE
returns an error.
The changeset notifiers in drivers/of/dynamic.c are a second type of notifier
that could be triggered by applying or removing an overlay. These notifiers
are not allowed to store pointers to a device tree node in the overlay
or its content. The overlay code does not protect against such pointers
remaining active when the memory containing the overlay is freed as a result
of removing the overlay.
Any other code that retains a pointer to the overlay nodes or data is
considered to be a bug because after removing the overlay the pointer
will refer to freed memory.
Users of overlays must be especially aware of the overall operations that
occur on the system to ensure that other kernel code does not retain any
pointers to the overlay nodes or data. Any example of an inadvertent use
of such pointers is if a driver or subsystem module is loaded after an
overlay has been applied, and the driver or subsystem scans the entire
devicetree or a large portion of it, including the overlay nodes.
