of: Add check to of_scan_flat_dt() before accessing initial_boot_params

commit 3ec754410cb3e931a6c4920b1a150f21a94a2bf4 upstream.

An empty __dtb_start to __dtb_end section might result in
initial_boot_params being null for arch/mips/ralink. This showed that the
boot process hangs indefinitely in of_scan_flat_dt().
