[PATCH v3 5/5] arm64/efi: adapt to relaxed FDT placement requirements

With the relaxed FDT placement requirements in place, we can change
the allocation strategy used by the stub to put the FDT image higher
up in memory. At the same time, reduce the minimal alignment to a
power of 2 upper bound of the size: this way, we are still guaranteed
not to cross a 2 MB boundary, but will potentially waste less memory.
