The fwnode reference returned by fwnode_graph_get_port_parent() is
currently dropped immediately via fwnode_handle_put(), but the pointer
is subsequently passed to device_match_fwnode(). This creates a
Use-After-Free vulnerability if the fwnode is freed before the match
completes.
Fix this by using the modern __free(fwnode_handle) macro to ensure the
reference is held for the duration of the function and automatically
dropped when it goes out of scope.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on latest media_tree.
- Combined the two mutually exclusive v1 submissions into a single
patch utilizing the modern scoped_guard/__free approach.
- Updated subsystem prefix to 'media: v4l2-subdev:' based on
historical usage.
