The RTAS device-tree node's refcount has been increased by one in the function call of_find_node_by_name(), but it's missed to be decreased by one in the error path. It leads to unbalanced refcount on RTAS device-tree node.
This fixes above issue by decreasing RTAS device-tree node's refcount in error path.
