x86/e820/32: Fix e820_search_gap() error handling on x86-32

GCC correctly points out that on 32-bit kernels, e820_search_gap()
not finding a start now leads to pci_mem_start ('gapstart') being set to an
uninitialized value:

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function 'e820_setup_gap':
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:641:16: error: 'gapstart' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This restores the behavior from before this cleanup:

  b4ed1d15b453 ("x86/e820: Make e820_search_gap() static and remove unused variables")

... defaulting to address 0x10000000 if nothing was found.
