[PATCH v2 3/5] liveupdate: validate restored LUO session metadata

The restored FDT contains the physical address of the LUO session header,
which LUO maps before reading session metadata. Check that physical range
against KHO-preserved memory before calling phys_to_virt(), and abort the
restore if the physical range is not covered.
The session header has a count that controls how far LUO walks the
serialized session array. Check that count against LUO_SESSION_MAX before
deserialization, and abort the restore if the value is out of range.
