Fix various kfree() issues related to of_overlay_apply().
- Double kfree() of fdt and tree when init_overlay_changeset()
returns an error.
- free_overlay_changeset() free the root of the unflattened
overlay (variable tree) instead of the memory that contains
the unflattened overlay.
- For the case of a failure during applying an overlay, move kfree()
of new_fdt and overlay_mem into free_overlay_changeset(), which
is called by the function that allocated them.
- For the case of removing an overlay, the kfree() of new_fdt and
overlay_mem remains in free_overlay_changeset().
- Check return value of of_fdt_unflatten_tree() for error instead
of checking the returned value of overlay_root.
- When storing pointers to allocated objects in ovcs, do so as
near to the allocation as possible instead of in deeply layered
function.
More clearly document policy related to lifetime of pointers into
overlay memory.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
