[U-Boot] [PATCH PATCH v6 04/13] spl: fit: allocate a temporary buffer to load the overlays

If the node describing an overlay does not specify a load address, it will
be loaded at the address previously used.
Fixing it by allocating a temporary buffer that will be used as a
default load address. By default, the size of the buffer is 64kB which
should be plenty for most use cases.

Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5:
- Do not allocate the buffer if not needed (no overlay).
- Add a Kconfig option for the buffer size

Changes in v4:
- make sure that the temp buffer is freed in all cases

Changes in v3: None
Changes in v2: None
