driver core: platform: remove software node on release()

If we pass a software node to a newly created device using struct
platform_device_info, it will not be removed when the device is
released. This may happen when a module creating the device is removed
or on failure in platform_device_add().

When we try to reuse that software node in a subsequent call to
platform_device_register_full(), it will fail with -EBUSY.

Provide a wrapper around the existing platform_device_release() that
additionally calls device_remove_software_node() and use it to replace
the former if we end up adding a software node.

While at it: check all three possible situations in which two software
nodes for a single platform device can be created/assigned in
platform_device_register_full() and bail-out early.
