[PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3: fix resource leak in partition_domain_translate()

[jackysliu]

There is a device node reference leak in partition_domain_translate().
After the function obtains the device node np via of_find_node_by_phandle,
it does not call of_node_put(np) to release the node reference
in both the error path and the normal return path.
This causes the node reference count to increase each time
the function is called, causing a resource leak.

This issue was detected by rule based static tools
developed by Tencent.

Fixes: 87228532e7e9 ("irqchip: Switch to of_fwnode_handle()")

Drop the spurious blank line.

Frankly, this looks awful, and we have much better ways to solve this
whole class of problems. Why can't the (untested) patch below do the
right thing, without the ugliness?

Linus has expressed fairly strongly that he really doesn't like separation
of the constructor and destructor.  See guidance in cleanup.h which was
based on that and bunch of other early discussion around this stuff.

Here it's easy to solve though. Just move that declaration down to
give something like:


>  	unsigned long ppi_intid;
> -	struct device_node *np;
>  	unsigned int ppi_idx;
>  	int ret;
>  
	if (!gic_data.ppi_descs)
		return -ENOMEM;

	struct device_node *np __free(device_node) =
		of_find_node_by_phandle(fwspec->param[3]);


	if (WARN_ON(!np))
		return -EINVAL;

Yeah, something like that -- it doesn't change a thing in this
context, but I can see how that could degenerate if we added other
cleanup statements.

In any case, this is the sort of thing I want to see going forward.
Nothing like the original patch.
