dtc: Fix signedness comparisons warnings: pointer diff

With -Wsign-compare, compilers warn about a mismatching signedness
in comparisons in the function get_node_by_path().

Taking the difference between two pointers results in a signed ptrdiff_t
type, which mismatches the unsigned type returned by strlen().
Since "p" has been returned by a call to strchr() with "path" as its
argument, we know for sure that it's bigger than "path", so the
difference must be positive. So a cast to an unsigned type is valid.
