i2c_pnx_probe() calls of_node_get() to take an extra reference on the
platform device's of_node when assigning it to the adapter device, but
none of the probe error paths nor i2c_pnx_remove() drops it.

device_release() does not call of_node_put() and i2c_adapter_dev_release()
only completes a struct, so the extra reference is never released, leaking
the device_node on every probe failure and every adapter removal.

Add the matching of_node_put() to all probe error paths (the three early
return paths before clk_prepare_enable(), and the out_clock label which
covers the wait_reset(), platform_get_irq(), devm_request_irq() and
i2c_add_numbered_adapter() failure paths; dev is devm_kzalloc'ed so
adapter.dev.of_node is NULL and of_node_put() is a no-op when CONFIG_OF
is not set) and to i2c_pnx_remove().

In i2c_pnx_remove(), i2c_del_adapter() clears adap->dev with memset()
at the end (commit bd4bc3dbded9 ("i2c: Clear i2c_adapter.dev on adapter
removal")), which zeroes adap->dev.of_node before of_node_put() runs.
Cache the pointer before calling i2c_del_adapter(), the same approach
used in i2c-mux (i2c_mux_del_adapters) and mtd (commit 56570bdad5e3
("mtd: core: Fix refcount error in del_mtd_device()")).

Compile-tested with gcc on arm64 defconfig using COMPILE_TEST; no
hardware available for runtime testing.
