efi/libstub/x86: Avoid EFI map buffer alloc in allocate_e820()
In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed here and would otherwise need to be freed. Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map() returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820() now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation.
