[PATCH] powerpc: fix unbalanced node refcount in check_kvm_guest()

When check_kvm_guest() succeeds in looking up a /hypervisor OF node, it
returns without performing a matching put for the lookup, leaving the
node's reference count elevated.

Add the necessary call to of_node_put(), rearranging the code slightly to
avoid repetition or goto.

Looks good to me.

I do see few other cases where we call of_find_node calls without
of_node_put().

Some of them that I saw were in

find_legacy_serial_ports()  in  arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c
proc_ppc64_create in arch/powerpc/proc/powerpc.c
update_events_in_group in arch/powerpc/perf/imc-pmu.c
cell_iommu_init_disabled in arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/iommu.c
cell_publish_devices in arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/setup.c
spufs_init_isolated_loader in arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c
holly_init_pci / holly_restart and holly_init_IRQ in arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/holly.c
