Driver core fixes for 7.1-rc5

- Remove the software node on platform device release(); without this,
   the software node remains registered after the device is gone and a
   subsequent platform_device_register_full() reusing the same node fails
   with -EBUSY
 
 - In sysfs_update_group(), do not remove a pre-existing directory when
   create_files() fails; the previous code would silently destroy a sysfs
   group that the caller did not create
 
 - Set fwnode->secondary to NULL in fwnode_init() to avoid dereferencing
   uninitialized memory (e.g. in dev_to_swnode()) when the firmware node
   is allocated on the stack or via a non-zeroing allocator
