x86/mm, 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:

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

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

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

The code 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.
