Commit 2361613206e6, "of/irq: Refactor interrupt-map parsing" changed
the refcount on the device_node causing an error in of_node_put():

This patch adjusts the refcount in the walk of the interrupt tree.
When a match is found, there is no need to increase the refcount 
on 'out_irq->np' as 'newpar' is already holding a ref. The refcount
balance between 'ipar' and 'newpar' is maintained in the skiplevel:
goto label.

This patch also removes the usage of the device_node variable 'old' 
which seems useless after the latest changes.

This patch was tested on powerpc, pseries and powernv. This is a 
new area for me so I might have missed a path. Please take a look.

We could now introduce an helper routine to look for #address-cells in
of_irq_parse_raw(). This can be the subject of another patch.

Thanks,

C.
