An FDT explicitly passed to efi_bootmgr_run() is currently replaced by
the FDT referenced by the selected Boot#### load option. This makes an
operator-supplied devicetree ineffective whenever the boot option carries
one.

Only consult the load-option FDT when no FDT was passed. Document the
resulting precedence so the explicit call argument remains the
highest-priority source.
