[PATCH 2/2] arm64/efi: don't pad between EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME regions

The new Properties Table feature introduced in UEFIv2.5 may split
memory regions that cover PE/COFF memory images into separate code
and data regions.

Since the relative offset of PE/COFF .text and .data segments cannot
be changed on the fly, this means that we can no longer pad out those
regions to be mappable using 64 KB pages.
Unfortunately, there is no annotation in the UEFI memory map that
identifies data regions that were split off from a code region, so we
must apply this logic to all runtime code and data regions.

So instead of rounding each memory region to 64 KB alignment at both
ends, only round down regions that are not directly preceded by another
runtime region. Since the UEFI spec does not mandate that the memory map
be sorted, this means we also need to sort it first.
