Subject: [PATCH 2/2] efi/x86: don't try to set page attributes on 0-sized regions.

In "efi/x86: Explicitly set sections memory attributes", the following
region is defined to help compute page permissions:

          /* .setup [image_base, _head] */
          efi_adjust_memory_range_protection(image_base,
                                             (unsigned long)_head - image_base,
                                             EFI_MEMORY_RO | EFI_MEMORY_XP);

In at least some cases, that will result in a size of 0, which will
produce an error and a message on the console, though no actual failure
will be caused in the boot process.

This patch checks that case in efi_adjust_memory_range_protection() and
returns the error without logging.
