[RFC 1/7] efi/libstub: Ask efi_random_alloc() to skip unusable memory

efi_random_alloc() demands EFI_ALLOCATE_ADDRESS when allocate_pages(),
but the current implement can not ensure the selected target locates
inside free area, that is to exclude EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_*,
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_* etc.

Fix the issue by checking md->type.
