[Arm-dev] [PATCH v0 18/20] efi: Avoid dt memory node deletion from efistub.

From: Ganapatrao Kulkarni <gkulkarni at caviumnetworks.com>

Current efistub deletes the memory nodes from the dt before
the dt file is passed to linux to avoid memblocks addition from dt early
memory scan code.

This patch avoids the deletion and still makes sure the memory is not added
from the dt code since, the memory info has to be used from efi tables.
