Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Install dtb files as 0644 in Makefile.dtbinst

The compiled dtb files aren't executable, so install them with 0644 as their
permission mode, instead of defaulting to 0755 as the mode.

Actually, some Linux distributions, including Debian, [1][2] already
include
fixes in their kernel package builds to change the file permissions to
0644.
Thus, let's have this fix propagated into the stable kernels, to allow
such
distributions to remove their downstream fixes.

Fixes: aefd80307a05 ("kbuild: refactor Makefile.dtbinst more")

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

Thanks for your response. I'll send the v2 with, hopefully, all patch
submission issues addressed.
