powerpc/pseries: Avoid deadlock on removing ddw
Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and
we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes
of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as
following backtrace shows.
The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic
DMA window property while releasing the device node.

drmgr/2273 is trying to acquire lock:
((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem){.+.+..}, at: [<c000000000091890>] \
.__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x78
but task is already holding lock:
((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem){.+.+..}, at: [<c000000000091890>] \

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
