[PATCH v2] commands: of_property: copy value instead of resizing

[<Oleg.Karfich@wago.com>]

Commit 748d1b8 adds the fixup feature to the above command. With this commit an
unwanted free(data) on the freshly set property value is done if someone tries
to set the value of an already present property (not the case for a new
property). Furthermore in fixup mode the pointer fixup->data is freed when the
fixup function is called more than once. This leads to a hanging system after
calling of_dump -F many times.
Fix this issues by copying the data to a new allocated memory area like a new
property is created.

Changes in v2:

        - slightly different solution like in [1]
        - consider memory leak when a new property is created. Noted in [2]
        - also consider hanging system when oftree -F is used
