This will fail for the case if
CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_MALLOC_SIMPLE_LEN and CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START is
not defined. i.e. if someone jut use CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F for both
board_init_f() and board_init_r().

This can be a separate patch.

IMO this should be guarded with !CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_MALLOC_SIMPLE_LEN
instead of removing it.
