nios2: Only use built-in devicetree blob if configured to do so

Starting with commit 7b937cc2 ("of: Create of_root if no dtb provided
by firmware"), attempts to boot nios2 images with an external devicetree
blob result in a crash.

Kernel panic - not syncing: early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch:
	Failed to allocate 72 bytes align=0x40

For nios2, a built-in devicetree blob always overrides devicetree blobs
provided by ROMMON/BIOS. This includes the new dummy devicetree blob.
Result is that the dummy devicetree blob is used even if an external
devicetree blob is provided. Since the dummy devicetree blob does not
include any memory information, memory allocations fail, resulting in
the crash.

To fix the problem, only use the built-in devicetree blob if
CONFIG_NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE_BOOL is enabled.

Fixes: 7b937cc2
