of: device_node kobject lifecycle fixes

After the move to having device nodes be proper kobjects the lifecycle
of the node needs to be controlled better.

At first convert of_add_node() in the unflattened functions to
of_init_node() which initializes the kobject so that of_node_get/put
work correctly even before of_init is called.

Afterwards introduce of_node_is_initialized & of_node_is_attached that
query the underlying kobject about the state (attached means kobj
is visible in sysfs)

Using that make sure the lifecycle of the tree is correct at all
times.

[grant.likely: moved of_node_init() calls, fixed up locking, and
               dropped __of_populate() hunks]
