acpi_fwnode_graph_parse_endpoint() calls fwnode_get_parent() to obtain the
parent fwnode but returns without calling fwnode_handle_put() on it. This
leads to a fwnode refcount leak and prevents the parent node from being
released properly.
Call fwnode_handle_put() on the parent fwnode before returning to
fix the leak.

Andy, Sakari, this looks like a genuine fix to me, any comments?

I'd add a newline here.

Thanks for cc'ing me.
On ACPI fwnode_handle_put() is a nop, and presumably a parent of an ACPI
node is an ACPI node as well. So this doesn't change fwnode refcounting but
is nevertheless a good thing to do for API usage correctness.
