[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: Install the device tree in /boot when installing the kernel

The option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET used to install the kernel in
/boot in the rootfs. The introduction of the device tree builds made it
possible to generate device tree blobs, and stored them in IMAGES_DIR
like the kernel, but didn't copy the dtb in /boot when _INSTALL_TARGET
was enabled.

When having a DT-enabled kernel started from /boot, the current behaviour
is broken right now, so this patch should probably go into the next release.
