of: unittest: kmemleak in duplicate property update

Browse Source 
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.

* &electric_1/motor-1 and &spin_ctrl_1 are the same node:

* &electric_1/motor-1/electric and &spin_ctrl_1/electric are the same node:
* /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/electric
*
* Thus the property "rpm_avail" in each fragment will
* result in an attempt to update the same property twice.
* This will result in an error and the overlay apply
* will fail.
*
* The previous version of this test did not include the extra
* level of node 'electric'. That resulted in the 'rpm_avail'
* property being located in the pre-existing node 'motor-1'.
* Modifying a property results in a WARNING that a memory leak
* will occur if the overlay is removed. Since the overlay apply
* fails, the memory leak does actually occur, and kmemleak will
* further report the memory leak if CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is
* enabled. Adding the overlay node 'electric' avoids the
* memory leak and thus people who use kmemleak will not
* have to debug this non-problem again.
