[PATCH] powerpc: kernel: pci-common: Fix refcount bug for 'phb->dn'

In pcibios_alloc_controller(), 'phb' is allocated and escaped into
global 'hose_list'. So we should call of_node_get() when a new reference
created into 'phb->dn'. And when phb is freed, we should call
of_node_put() on it.

NOTE: This function is called in the iteration of for_each_xx in
chrp_find_bridges() function. If there is no of_node_get(), the object
maybe prematurely freed.

 I do not know if we should insert the of_node_put() in or out of the
spin_lock/spin_unlock. Please check it carefully.
