Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] arm/dt: Make __vet_atags also accept a dtb image

The dtb is passed to the kernel via register r2, which is the same
method that is used to pass an atags pointer.  This patch modifies
__vet_atags to not clear r2 when it encounters a dtb image.

v2: fixed bugs pointed out by Nicolas Pitre
