A build pattern to handle out of tree dtbs is to copy the .dts file into
the kernel source tree and run `make myboard.dtb`. This is supported by
the wildcard %.dtb rule in the Makefile but recent changes to split the
dtb handling out of scripts/Makefile.build stopped this from working.
Restore this functionality by looking for .dtb in $(MAKECMDGOALS) as
well as $(targets).

Fixes: e7e2941300d2 ("kbuild: split device tree build rules into scripts/Makefile.dtbs")

Notes:
    Changes in v2:
    - keep $(target) and search for .dtb in $(MAKECMDGOALS)

This is not a use-case in upstream.

If you drop-in your downstream DT to the kernel tree,
you need to associate it with Makefile.
