dove_init_pmu() acquires two device_node references that are leaked on
several exit paths:
- np_pmu, from of_find_compatible_node(): leaked on the !domains_node
early return and on the !pmu allocation-failure return, both of which
occur before the reference is handed to pmu->of_node. On the iomap
failure path it has already been stored in pmu->of_node, so it must
be released via that field before pmu is freed.
- domains_node, from of_get_child_by_name(): used only as the iterator
base of for_each_available_child_of_node(), which never drops the
parent reference. It is leaked on the allocation-failure return, the
iomap-failure return and, most commonly, on the normal success path.
The success path keeps np_pmu alive deliberately: it is stored in
pmu->of_node and the pmu structure persists for the lifetime of the
system, so np_pmu is not put there.
Release np_pmu on the two early error returns and via pmu->of_node on the
iomap-failure return, and release domains_node on every path once it is
no longer needed.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.
