x86: fix init_memory_mapping() to handle small ranges

Impact: fix failed EFI bootup in certain circumstances

Ying Huang found init_memory_mapping() has problem with small ranges
less than 2M when he tried to direct map the EFI runtime code out of
max_low_pfn_mapped.

It turns out we never considered that case and didn't check the range...
