Generally a guest needs an external source of randomness to properly
enable things like address space randomisation. However in a trusted
boot environment where the firmware will cryptographically verify
components having random data in the DTB will cause verification to
fail. Add a control knob so we can prevent this being added to the
system DTB.

We should say what the name of the DTB node is here: it is "kaslr-seed"
(in the "/chosen" and /secure-chosen nodes, if we want to get that
specific).

Side note: it's odd that in naming this proporty we've inserted "dtb" into
the middle of the node name we're controlling the creation of. Maybe
use "dtb-kaslr-seed" ?

"kaslr-seed", not just "kaslr".
