bootm_load_os() detects when it writes the decompressed image over
the top of the compressed image. If this happens, the original image
is corrupted. When the original image is a multi-component legacy image,
or a (potentially multi-component) FIT image, this implies that other
components may be corrupted. In turn, this means that booting is unlikely
to be successful.

However, in the case of no image compresssion coupled with an image with
load address equal to where the image is already located (e.g. an XIP
kernel, or IH_TYPE_KERNEL_ANYLOAD), there has been no copy and hence no
corruption, no matter whether it's a single-component legacy image, a
multi-component legacy image, or a FIT image. In this case, disable the
overlap detection, and allow boot to continue.

Without this change, when booting a single-component legacy image that
contains an IH_TYPE_KERNEL_ANYLOAD, bootm_load_os() would have returned
BOOTM_ERR_OVERLAP, but the caller ignores this, and b...
