David Bauer de59fc4540 ipq40xx: fix broken image generation for EX6150v2
All NETGEAR EX6150v2 validate the rootfs for which OpenWrt places a
fakeheader at the position, where the bootloader expects it.

Some EX6150v2 bootloaders do however make a broken assumption about
where the rootfs starts. This is due to them calculating the rootfs
start not based upon the kernel-length but the string-offset of the
FIT-image.

We have to be compatible with both this broken as well as the valid
calculation. So we do relocate the FDT string section to a
block-boundary and enlarge the FIT image to end at this boundary +
BLOCKSIZE / 2. This way, both the broken as well as correct calculations
do expect the rootfs-header at the same position.

It is worth noting, that this is a rare edge-case in which only happens
if the image-length as well as the start of the string-section are not
placed in the same erase-block. This is an edge-case which happens very
rarely (thus it was not spotted prior).
