[PATCH v16 09/12] of: Define functions to allocate and free FDT

[Lakshmi Ramasubramanian]

Kernel components that use Flattened Device Tree (FDT) allocate kernel
memory and call fdt_open_into() to reorganize the tree into a form
suitable for the read-write operations.  These operations can be
combined into a single function to allocate and initialize the FDT
so the different architecures do not have to duplicate the code.

Define of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and of_free_fdt() in drivers/of/kexec.c
to allocate and initialize FDT, and to free the FDT buffer respectively.
