[PATCH v16 11/12] powerpc: Use OF alloc and free for FDT

of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and of_free_fdt() have been defined in
drivers/of/kexec.c to allocate and free memory for FDT.

Use of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and of_free_fdt() to allocate and
initialize the FDT, and to free the FDT respectively.

powerpc sets the FDT address in image_loader_data field in
"struct kimage" and the memory is freed in
kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().  This cleanup function uses kfree()
to free the memory. But since of_alloc_and_init_fdt() uses kvmalloc()
for allocation, the buffer needs to be freed using kvfree().

Define "fdt" field in "struct kimage_arch" for powerpc to store
the address of FDT, and free the memory in powerpc specific
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().
