[PATCH] powerpc: Fix bootm to boot up again with a Ramdisk

Patch
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a1a2cb6e2b87ee550e6f27b647d23331dfd5e1b#patch3

didnt remove the dummy mem reservation in fdt_chosen, and
this stopped Linux from booting with a Ramdisk. This patch
fixes this, by deleting the useless dummy mem reservation.

When booting with a Ramdisk, a fix offset FDT_RAMDISK_OVERHEAD
is now added to of_size, so we dont need anymore a dummy
mem reservation.
