Andy Shevchenko 5a23e8b0fd mfd: Remove software node conditionally and locate at right place 
Currently the software node is removed in error case and at ->remove()
stage unconditionally, that ruins the symmetry. Besides, in some cases,
when mfd_add_device() fails, the device_remove_software_node() call
may lead to NULL pointer dereference:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000
  ...
  EIP: strlen+0x12/0x20
  ...
  kernfs_name_hash+0x13/0x70
  kernfs_find_ns+0x32/0xc0
  kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x2a/0x90
  sysfs_remove_link+0x16/0x30
  software_node_notify.cold+0x34/0x6b
  device_remove_software_node+0x5a/0x90
  mfd_add_device.cold+0x30a/0x427

Fix all these by guarding device_remove_software_node() with a conditional
and locating it at the right place.

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.
