[PATCH 06/11] arm-dt: postpone machine detection until setup_arch with CONFIG_ARM_DEVTREE

When we're using CONFIG_ARM_DEVTREE, we need to postpone machine detection
until later in setup_arch. Because ARM_DEVTREE depends on !DEBUG_LL,
we don't need the mdesc this early anyway.

We'll add support for ARM_DEVTREE && DEBUG_LL later.
