Fix Python crash on getprop deallocation

Fatal Python error: none_dealloc: deallocating None
Python runtime state: finalizing (tstate=0x000055c9bac70920)

Current thread 0x00007fbe34e47740 (most recent call first):
  <no Python frame>
Aborted (core dumped)

This is caused by a missing Py_INCREF on the returned Py_None, as
demonstrated e.g. in https://github.com/mythosil/swig-python-incref or
described at https://edcjones.tripod.com/refcount.html ("Remember to
INCREF Py_None!")

A PoC for triggering this crash is uploaded to
https://github.com/z3ntu/pylibfdt-crash .
With this patch applied to pylibfdt the crash does not happen.
