__of_update_property() returns the existing property if there is one, but
that value is never added to the changeset. Updates work because the
existing property is also retrieved in of_changeset_action(), but that is
racy as of_changeset_action() doesn't hold any locks. The property could
be changed before the changeset is applied.
