arc770: move arc patches to target/linux/generic

Given those patches are relevant to any ARC platform and even
ISA version it makes perfect sense for patches to exist
in one place instead of being duplicated for each new ARC-based ASIC.

Note this is a prerequisite for upstreaming of ARC HS38 support in
OpenWRT.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] openwrt: arc - add OWRTDTB section
+
+This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
+external .dtb.
+
+That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
+given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
+
+""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
+.dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
