[PATCH v5.5] of/fdt: export fdt blob as /sys/firmware/fdt

Create a new /sys entry '/sys/firmware/fdt' to export the FDT blob
that was passed to the kernel by the bootloader. This allows userland
applications such as kexec to access the raw binary.

The fact that this node does not reside under /sys/firmware/device-tree
is deliberate: FDT is also used on arm64 UEFI/ACPI systems to
communicate just the UEFI and ACPI entry points, but the FDT is never
unflattened and used to configure the system.

A CRC32 checksum is calculated over the entire FDT blob, and verified
at late_initcall time. The sysfs entry is instantiated only if the
checksum is valid, i.e., if the FDT blob has not been modified in the
mean time. Otherwise, a warning is printed.

v5.5: based on Grant's changes
"""
Actually, I made a couple of changes when I merged it. I removed the
older debugfs interface since it overlaps, and I added tests for
initial_boot_params to make sure it doesn't try to run on an invalid
FDT
"""
but I removed the second fdt_check_header() again in the late init code, as it
would result in a corrupted FDT to be silently ignored. Note that
initial_boot_params can only be set if fdt_check_header() succeeded the first
time, so a failure occurring the second time should produce a warning, and
the CRC check will catch it anyway. The CRC check itself is fixed to use the
API as it is supposed to. I also moved the CRC variable definition inside the
#ifdef OF_EARLY_FLATTREE region.

v4: use pr_warn() instead of WARN()
v3: keep checksum instead of copying the entire blob, and WARN on mismatch
