iscsi_ibft: fix crash due to KASLR physical memory remapping
Starting with commit a799c2bd ("x86/setup: Consolidate early memory reservations") memory reservations have been moved earlier during the boot process, before the execution of the Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization code. setup_arch() calls the iscsi_ibft's find_ibft_region() function to find and reserve the memory dedicated to the iBFT and this function also saves a virtual pointer to the iBFT table for later use. The problem is that if KALSR is active, the physical memory gets remapped somewhere else in the virtual address space and the pointer is no longer valid, this will cause a kernel panic when the iscsi driver tries to dereference it. iBFT detected. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888000099fd8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ..snip..

N.B. On each reboot KASLR randomizes the virtual addresses so assuming phys_to_virt before KASLR does its deed is incorrect. Simplify the code by renaming find_ibft_region() to reserve_ibft_region() and remove all the wrappers.
