From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com>

A comment in the review of the patch adding the phandle cache said that
the cache would have to be updated when modules are applied and removed.
This patch implements the cache updates.

Fixes: 0b3ce78e90fc ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()")

Changes since RFC:
  - update code comment to mention race condition avoidance

For the RFC version of this patch, the 0day test reported a general
protection fault from the KASAN runtime memory debugger on x86_64
in qemu.  The GPF was in a devicetree unittest.

0day tested the patch on v4.17-rc1, with some other patches applied.
I was unable to replicate the GPF on v4.18-rc1 with just this patch
applied.  I was also unable to replicate the GPF on a clone of the
v4.17-rc1 0day repository, using the 0day kernel config.  I will
reply to this email with the 0day GPF report.
