New unittests for overlay notifiers reveal a memory leak in of_overlay_apply() when a notifier returns an error for action OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY. The pr_err() message is: OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 3, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest17 Change the error path to no longer call free_overlay_changeset(), and document that the caller of of_overlay_fdt_apply() may choose to remove the overlay. Update the unittest that triggered the error to expect the changed return values and to call of_overlay_remove().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
