ipq806x/storm: Return NULL for cbmem_top if DRAM is not initialized

DRAM initialization on storm requires ipq blobs to be
loaded from cbfs. vboot_locator first checks cbmem_find to see if cbmem is
initialized and contains selected region info, else it falls back to
vboot work buffer.

Since cbmem_find calls into cbmem_top to identify the location of
cbmem area, board/chipset is expected to return NULL until the backing
store is ready, which in this case until DRAM is initialized in
romstage, return NULL for cbmem_top.
