[PATCH] ARM: Make sure appended device tree data won't overlap kernel BSS

Do this before relocating the compressed kernel + device tree data.
Otherwise we would have to split the copying into two parts, or copy
the device tree data twice.
As we only have one register available, pass the size of kernel BSS
via linker and do the following calculation using r1.
