libfdt: fdt_get_alias_namelen: Validate aliases

Browse source 
Ensure that the alias found matches the device tree specification v0.4:

    Each property of the /aliases node defines an alias. The property
    name specifies the alias name. The property value specifies the full
    path to a node in the devicetree.

This protects against a stack overflow caused by

    fdt_path_offset_namelen(fdt, path, namelen)

calling

    fdt_path_offset(fdt, fdt_get_alias_namelen(fdt, path, namelen))

leading to infinite recursion on DTs with "circular" aliases.

This fix was originally written by Mike McTernan for Android in [1].
