[PATCH v13 5/6] arm64: Free DTB buffer if fdt_open_into() fails

create_dtb() function allocates memory for the device tree blob (DTB)
and calls fdt_open_into(). If this call fails the memory allocated
for the DTB is not freed before returning from create_dtb() thereby
leaking memory.

Call vfree() to free the memory allocated for the DTB if fdt_open_into()
fails.
