Subject: [PATCH 1/2] software node: implement software_node_unregister()

Sometimes it is better to unregister individual nodes instead of trying
to do them all at once with software_node_unregister_nodes(), so create
software_node_unregister() so that you can unregister them one at a
time.

This is especially important when creating nodes in a hierarchy, with
parent -> children representations. Children always need to be removed
before a parent is, as the swnode logic assumes this is going to be the
case.

Fix up the lib/test_printf.c fwnode_pointer() test which to use this new
function as it had the problem of tearing things down in the backwards
order.

Fixes: f1ce39df508d ("lib/test_printf: Add tests for %pfw printk modifier")

Both patches pass my boot tests on arm64 and arm64be (I didn't test any others).
So, FWIW,

Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <[email protected]>

I wasn't sure it the two patches replace or fix commit 4ef12f719802 ("kobject:
Make sure the parent does not get released before its children"), so I tried
to re-apply 4ef12f719802 on top of the two patches. Unfortunately that still
results in crashes and UAF messages.

Yes, that kobject patch has been reverted:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e6764aa0e5530066dd969eccea2a1a7d177859a8

and these 2 patches are to be used instead.

I could confirm that this fixed lib/test_printf.c. The patch looks reasonable.
