[PATCH v2] efi/arm32-stub: allow boottime allocations in the vmlinux region

The arm32 kernel decompresses itself to the base of DRAM unconditionally,
and so it is the EFI stub's job to ensure that the region is available.
Currently, we do this by creating an allocation there, and giving up if
that fails. However, any boot services regions occupying this area are
not an issue, given that the decompressor executes strictly after the
stub calls ExitBootServices().
So let's try a bit harder to proceed if the initial allocation fails,
and check whether any memory map entries occupying the region may be
considered safe.

v2: - use efi_call_early() instead of dereferencing sys_table->boottime
directly
- use EFI_ALLOCATE_MAX_ADDRESS for the first attempt rather then
EFI_ALLOCATE_ADDRESS, which is affected by a EDK2 bug (this could
return a base address lower than expected, if dram_base is greater
than the real base of DRAM, and part of the region we attempt to
reserve is already occupied)
