LF-789-1 Revert "scripts: Makefile: Enable creation of _symbols_ DT node for overlays"

This reverts commit 432071b7a1.

commit: 432071b7a1 scripts: Makefile: Enable creation of _symbols_ DT node for overlays
changes the common Makefile and force creation of __symbols__ node on all platforms.

This is not good and not acceptible under some cases due to this change will increase
the final DTB size a lot and bring big impact for others who does not need creation
of _symbols_ DT node for overlays.For example, on i.MX OP-TEE, the maxsize of DT is 1MB,
this patch will break some of the i.MX6/i.MX7 boards to boot with OP-TEE enabled.

BTW, community has the similar patch but rejected. The following post discuss about this:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/821645/

For specifc plaform/board which need the creation of _symbols_ DT node for overlays, user can
define DTC_FLAGS_target either trough dtc build command line(#1) or with board specific Makefile(#2)

For example:#1

make DTC_FLAGS_fsl-ls1028a-qds=-@ freescale/fsl-ls1028a-qds.dtb

For example:#2
