Verified on IGEPv2.

Also note, that this patch and CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE is needed
for sucessfull build (with gcc-5.4.0), otherwise compilation fails with:
arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: u-boot-spl section `.data' will not fit in region
`.sram'
arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 264 bytes
Just enabling CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE without this patch makes
malloc in fat loading code fail and thus causes boot failure.
