[PATCH] scripts: dtc: fix a false alarm for node_name_chars_strict

The function check_node_name_chars_strict issues a false alarm when
compiling an overlay dts.

/fragment at 0/__overlay__: Character '_' not recommended in node name

This workaround will fix it by skip checking for node named __overlay__.
