gpiolib: of: don't mark hog nodes OF_POPULATED before a chip is found

When a gpio-hog node is attached by a device-tree overlay before its
parent GPIO chip has been registered, of_gpio_notify() sets
OF_POPULATED on the node via of_node_test_and_set_flag() and only then
discovers that there is no gpio_device for the parent, returning
NOTIFY_DONE without clearing the flag.

Since gpiochip_hog_lines() skips any hog child whose of_node carries
OF_POPULATED, the leaked flag makes the hog silently ignored when the
chip is registered later. Applying an overlay containing both a GPIO
controller node and its hog children - and populating devices only
after the overlay apply completes - hits this on every boot; the hog
is only applied if the chip driver is unbound (which clears the flag
in the remove path) and rebound.

Look up the parent gpio_device before claiming the node so that a hog
attached ahead of its chip stays unclaimed and is picked up normally
by gpiochip_hog_lines() at registration time.
