[PATCH v2 03/10] efi/libstub: Avoid _end section marker in library code

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

The _end marker could point to the end of the kernel image being loaded,
or to the _end of the zboot decompressor image, and so it should only be
used in code that is obviously only intended for the former case.

So instead, use kernel_memsize and the image address to obtain the same
quantity.
