[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 5/8] nios2: remove gp assignments in link script

Since we don't use gp for small data with option "-G0",
we use gp as global data pointer. The _gp location is
not needed.

The ALIGN(16) was for gp only. It is removed, so that we
can get correct address of dtb in u-boot-dtb.bin image.
