[PATCH] kbuild: protect compiled-in dtb from dead data elimination

[Marcin Nowakowski]

DTBs are compiled into byte arrays that are placed inside
.dtb.init.rodata section. As they are never referenced directly from the
code, they get removed during dead data elimination and we end up with
__dtb_start == __dtb_end.
