	of: fdt: fix memory initialization for expanded DT
Already existing property flags are filled wrong for properties created from
initial FDT. This could cause problems if this DYNAMIC device-tree functions
are used later, i.e. properties are attached/detached/replaced. Simply dumping
flags from the running system show, that some initial static (not allocated via
kzmalloc()) nodes are marked as dynamic.
I putted some debug extensions to property_proc_show(..) :
..
+       if (OF_IS_DYNAMIC(pp))
+               pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DYNAMIC\n");
+       if (OF_IS_DETACHED(pp))
+               pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DETACHED\n");
when you operate on the nodes (e.g.: ~$ cat /proc/device-tree/*some_node*) you
will see that those flags are filled wrong, basically in most cases it will dump
a DYNAMIC or DETACHED status, which is in not true.
(BTW. this OF_IS_DETACHED is a own define for debug purposes which which just
make a test_bit(OF_DETACHED, &x->_flags)
If nodes are dynamic kernel is allowed to kfree() them. But it will crash
attempting to do so on the nodes from FDT -- they are not allocated via
kzmalloc().
