efi: ARM/arm64: ignore DT memory nodes instead of removing them
There are two problems with the UEFI stub DT memory node removal routine: - it deletes nodes as it traverses the tree, which happens to work but is not supported, as deletion invalidates the node iterator; - deleting memory nodes entirely may discard annotations in the form of additional properties on the nodes. Since the discovery of DT memory nodes occurs strictly before the UEFI init sequence, we can simply clear the memblock memory table before parsing the UEFI memory map. This way, it is no longer necessary to remove the nodes, so we can remove that logic from the stub as well.
