As the function itself says it is caller's responsibility to call the
of_node_put().  So, remove it on success to keep the reference count
correct.

Actually, if out_args is NULL, you should do the of_node_put(node), so
probably the correct fix is to add an "else" before the above "if" (and
move the comment).
