This makes the fdt mapped without the call to meblock_reserve(fdt) which
makes the fdt memory available for memblock allocations.

Chances that is will be actually allocated are small, but you know, things
happen.

IMHO, instead of calling directly __fixmap_remap_fdt() it would be better
to add pgprot parameter to fixmap_remap_fdt(). Then here and in kaslr.c it
can be called with PAGE_KERNEL and below with PAGE_KERNEL_RO.

There is no problem to call memblock_reserve() for the same area twice,
it's essentially a NOP.
