of: unittest: kmemleak in duplicate property update
kmemleak reports several memory leaks from devicetree unittest.
This is the fix for problem 5 of 5.
When overlay 'overlay_bad_add_dup_prop' is applied, the apply code
properly detects that a memory leak will occur if the overlay is removed
since the duplicate property is located in a base devicetree node and
reports via printk():
OF: overlay: WARNING: memory leak will occur if overlay removed, property: /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/rpm_avail
OF: overlay: WARNING: memory leak will occur if overlay removed, property: /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/rpm_avail
The overlay is removed when the apply code detects multiple changesets
modifying the same property. This is reported via printk():
OF: overlay: ERROR: multiple fragments add, update, and/or delete property /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/rpm_avail
As a result of this error, the overlay is removed resulting in the
expected memory leak.
Add another device node level to the overlay so that the duplicate
property is located in a node added by the overlay, thus no memory
leak will occur when the overlay is removed.
Thus users of kmemleak will not have to debug this leak in the future.
