[PATCH v2] drm: rcar-du: fix possible object reference leak

The call to of_get_parent returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last
usage.

Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings:
drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_of.c:235:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 216, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_of.c:236:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 209, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
