Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/boot/KASLR: Add checking for the offset of kernel virtual address randomization

For kernel text KASLR, the virtual address is confined to area of 1G,
[0xffffffff80000000, 0xffffffffc0000000). For the implemenataion of
virtual address randomization, we only randomize to get an offset
between 16M and 1G, then add this offset to the starting address,
0xffffffff80000000. Here 16M is the offset which is decided at linking
stage. So the amount of the local variable 'virt_addr' which respresents
the offset plus the kernel output size can not exceed KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.

Add a judgement to check the offset. If out of bounds, print error
message and hang there.
