RISC-V Fix for 5.18-rc6
* A fix to relocate the DTB early in boot, in cases where the bootloader
doesn't put the DTB in a region that will end up mapped by the kernel.
This manifests as a crash early in boot on a handful of
configurations.
RISC-V: relocate DTB if it's outside memory region
In case the DTB provided by the bootloader/BootROM is before the kernel
image or outside /memory, we won't be able to access it through the
linear mapping, and get a segfault on setup_arch(). Currently OpenSBI
relocates DTB but that's not always the case (e.g. if FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR
is not specified), and it's also not the most portable approach since
the default FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR of the generic platform relocates the DTB
at a specific offset that may not be available. To avoid this situation
copy DTB so that it's visible through the linear mapping.
