[PATCH v2 1/2] of/fdt: export fdt blob as /sys/firmware/fdt

Create a new /sys entry '/sys/firmware/fdt' to export the FDT blob
that was passed to the kernel by the bootloader. This allows userland
applications such as kexec to access the raw binary. The blob needs to
be preserved as early as possible by calling preserve_fdt().

The fact that this node does not reside under /sys/firmware/device-tree
is deliberate: FDT is also used on arm64 UEFI/ACPI systems to
communicate just the UEFI and ACPI entry points, but the FDT is never
unflattened and used to configure the system.
