Subject: [PATCH 1/1] of: unittest: overlay: ensure proper alignment of copied FDT

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@...y.com>

The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.
kmemdup() returns 4 byte alignment on openrisc.  Replace kmemdup()
with kmalloc(), align pointer, memcpy() to get proper alignment.

The 4 byte alignment exposed a related bug which triggered a crash
on openrisc with:
commit 79edff12060f ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")
as reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210327224116.69309-1-linux@roeck-us.net/
