[PATCH v2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Fix OF node reference leak

[Yuho Choi]

of_get_cpu_node() returns a referenced device node. In
its_cpu_init_collection(), the Cavium 23144 workaround only uses the
node to compare the CPU NUMA node, but the reference is never dropped.

Use the device_node cleanup helper for the CPU node reference so it is
released when leaving the workaround block, including the NUMA mismatch
return path.

Fixes: fbf8f40e1658 ("irqchip/gicv3-its: numa: Enable workaround for Cavium thunderx erratum 23144")

- Use __free(device_node) for the CPU node reference.
- Correct the Fixes tag to fbf8f40e1658.

Please keep this on a single line. I find nothing more irritating than
these split assignments.

Worth taking this opportunity to fix the indentation here.

With these two nits addressed:
