drivers/of: Validate device node in __unflatten_device_tree()
@mynodes is set to NULL when __unflatten_device_tree() is called
to unflatten device sub-tree in PCI hot add scenario on PowerPC
PowerNV platform. Marking @mynodes detached unconditionally causes
kernel crash as below backtrace shows:

This avoids the kernel crash by marking @mynodes detached only when
@mynodes is dereferencing valid device node in __unflatten_device_tree().
