of: overlay: do not free changeset when of_overlay_apply returns error


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().
