If a node with no properties is dynamically added, then a property is
dynamically added to the node, then the property is dynamically removed,
the result will be node->properties == NULL and node->deadprops != NULL.
Add a separate function to release the properties in both lists.

Thanks the idea from Rob Herring, that I forgot to mention at patch v3.
Thanks Frank Rowand for writing to me the example.
v3 -> v4:
* Using the style that is more consistent with device tree
code, as suggested by Frank Rowand
