clk: Evict unregistered clks from parent caches
We leave a dangling pointer in each clk_core::parents array that has an unregistered clk as a potential parent when that clk_core pointer is freed by clk{_hw}_unregister(). It is impossible for the true parent of a clk to be set with clk_set_parent() once the dangling pointer is left in the cache because we compare parent pointers in clk_fetch_parent_index() instead of checking for a matching clk name or clk_hw pointer. Before commit ede77858 ("clk: Remove global clk traversal on fetch parent index"), we would check clk_hw pointers, which has a higher chance of being the same between registration and unregistration, but it can still be allocated and freed by the clk provider. In fact, this has been a long standing problem since commit da0f0b2c ("clk: Correct lookup logic in clk_fetch_parent_index()") where we stopped trying to compare clk names and skipped over entries in the cache that weren't NULL. There are good (performance) reasons to not do the global tree lookup in cases where the cache holds dangling pointers to parents that have been unregistered. Let's take the performance hit on the uncommon registration path instead. Loop through all the clk_core::parents arrays when a clk is unregistered and set the entry to NULL when the parent cache entry and clk being unregistered are the same pointer. This will fix this problem and avoid the overhead for the "normal" case. Based on a patch by Bjorn Andersson.
