Subject: [PATCH v2] Hibernate: Do not assume the first e820 area to be RAM

In arch/x86/kernel/setup.c::trim_bios_range(), the codes introduced
by 1b5576e6 (base on d8a9e6a5), it updates the first 4Kb of memory
to be E820_RESERVED region. That's because it's a BIOS owned area
but generally not listed in the E820 table:

[    0.000000] e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000096fff] usable
[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000097000-0x0000000000097fff] reserved
...
[    0.000000] e820: update [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff] usable ==> reserved
[    0.000000] e820: remove [mem 0x000a0000-0x000fffff] usable

But the region of first 4Kb didn't register to nosave memory:

[    0.000000] PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x00097000-0x00097fff]
[    0.000000] PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x000a0000-0x000fffff]

The codes in e820_mark_nosave_regions() assumes the first e820 area to be
RAM, so it causes the first 4Kb E820_RESERVED region ignored when register
to nosave. This patch removed assumption of the first e820 area.

v2:
To avoid the i > 0 checking in for loop. (coding suggestion from Yinghai Lu)
