[PATCH v3 3/4] bootsource: have bootsource_get_alias_name return const char *

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

The only user of bootsource_get_alias_name() calls it and frees it
shortly after and users in board code will likely do the same.

Instead of allocating every time, let's just return a static array and
expect users to call strdup() if they want to keep the bootsource valid
for longer.
