[Buildroot] [git commit] linux/linux.mk: custom dts path - build dtb only from *.dts files

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=541d9937d43a5954ba640c9523f6b1e60a4e9040
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

When building device tree blobs from custom *.dts files, buildroot
initializes KERNEL_DTS_NAME variable from all given file names.
This causes that user can't provide one *.dts file and some other
*.dtsi files as dependencies.

Problem is fixed by adding filter for initializing KERNEL_DTS_NAME
variable with *.dts files only. All user provided files are copied
into kernel source tree, but only file names suffixed with *.dts
are used for building appropriate *.dtb files.

[Thomas: add comment into the code to explain why we are filtering
.dts files only.]
