Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] arm64: Unconditionally call unflatten_device_tree()

Call this function unconditionally so that we can populate an empty DTB
on platforms that don't boot with a firmware provided or builtin DTB.
When ACPI is in use, unflatten_device_tree() ignores the
'initial_boot_params' pointer so the live DT on those systems won't be
whatever that's pointing to. Similarly, when kexec copies the DT data
the previous kernel to the new one on ACPI systems,
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() will ignore the live DT (the empty root
one) and copy the 'initial_boot_params' data.
