[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] arm: vf610twr: improve memory layout

Currently, the device tree relocation is disabled, likely to
keep some DDR3 RAM at the end for Cortex-M4 firmwares. This
can be archived using bootm_size, which limits the image
processing range of the boot commands.

Move the device tree standard load address to a higher address
which aligns better with what we are doing on other boards.

So this is the second version of the patch "arm: vf610: move
device tree after kernel image" which makes use of bootm_size.
I also added an appropriate comment, added variables for
RAM disk, and added kernel_addr_r/fdt_addr_r.
