efi/arm-stub: Round up FDT allocation to mapping size
The FDT is mapped via a fixmap entry that is at least 2 MB in size and 2 MB aligned on 4 KB page size kernels. On UEFI systems, the FDT allocation may share this 2 MB mapping with a reserved region (or another memory region that we should never map), unless we account for this in the size of the allocation (the alignment is already 2 MB) So instead of taking guesses at the needed space, simply allocate 2 MB immediately. The allocation will be recorded as EFI_LOADER_DATA, and the kernel only memblock_reserve()'s the actual size of the FDT, so the unused space will be released back to the kernel.
