Frank Rowand 29acfb6559 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.

Frank Rowand 2fe0e8769d of: overlay: check prevents multiple fragments touching same property
Add test case of two fragments updating the same property.  After
adding the test case, the system hangs at end of boot, after
after slub stack dumps from kfree() in crypto modprobe code.

Multiple overlay fragments adding, modifying, or deleting the same
property is not supported.  Add check to detect the attempt and fail
the overlay apply.

Before this patch, the first fragment error would terminate
processing.  Allow fragment checking to proceed and report all
of the fragment errors before terminating the overlay apply. This
is not a hot path, thus not a performance issue (the error is not
transient and requires fixing the overlay before attempting to
apply it again).

After applying this patch, the devicetree unittest messages will
include:

   OF: overlay: ERROR: multiple fragments add, update, and/or delete property /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/rpm_avail

   ...

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 212 passed, 0 failed

The check to detect two fragments updating the same property is
folded into the patch that created the test case to maintain
bisectability.
