[PATCH 2/2] of/fdt: Append bootloader arguments when CMDLINE_EXTEND=y

The Kconfig help text for CMDLINE_EXTEND is sadly duplicated across all
architectures that implement it (arm, arm64, powerpc, riscv and sh), but
they all seem to agree that the bootloader arguments will be appended to
the CONFIG_CMDLINE. For example, on arm64:

  | The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
  | appended to the default kernel command string.

This also matches the behaviour of the EFI stub, which parses the
bootloader arguments first if CMDLINE_EXTEND is set, as well as the
out-of-tree CMDLINE_EXTEND implementation in Android.

However, the behaviour in the upstream fdt code appears to be the other
way around: CONFIG_CMDLINE is appended to the bootloader arguments.

Fix the code to follow the documentation by moving the cmdline
processing out into a new function, early_init_dt_retrieve_cmdline(),
and copying CONFIG_CMDLINE to the beginning of the cmdline buffer rather
than concatenating it onto the end.
