    of/unittest: fix infinite loop in of_unittest_destroy_tracked_overlays() · 815d74b3

    of_overlay_destroy() can return `-ENODEV' error code once it
    failed to find the requested overlay in `ov_idr'. However,
    of_unittest_destroy_tracked_overlays() does not handle this
    error code correctly and continues to call of_overlay_destroy()
    on the 'missing' overlay over and over again. This results in
    a printk flood

    which is not really good due to printk design, and can lead to soft
    lockups, hard lockups, etc. (depending on the context console_unlock()
    is being called from). The problem has bee observed in real life
    and reported by Ying Huang.
    
    This patch does not address the root cause of missing overlay in
    `ov_idr', it fixes the endless loop only.
