Grant Likely 5063e25a30 of: Eliminate of_allnodes list
The device tree structure is composed of two lists; the 'allnodes' list
which is a singly linked list containing every node in the tree, and the
child->parent structure where each parent node has a singly linked list
of children. All of the data in the allnodes list can be easily
reproduced with the parent-child lists, so of_allnodes is actually
unnecessary. Remove it entirely which saves a bit of memory and
simplifies the data structure quite a lot.

Todo list for devicetree:
=== General structure ===
- Switch from custom lists to (h)list_head for nodes and properties structure
=== CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC ===
- Switch to RCU for tree updates and get rid of global spinlock
- Document node lifecycle for CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC
- Always set ->full_name at of_attach_node() time
- pseries: Get rid of open-coded tree modification from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c
